The most weird news I have heard from Xinjiang is when Chinese authorities forced Muslims to dance on streets - https://tribune.com.pk/story/871879/suppressing-religious-fr...
First, Xinjiang is in the west, not east. Second, Uyghurs in China do not speak Turkish. They speak Uighur, a Turkic language, but its orthography is Arabic and forced Chinese. It looks nothing like Turkish, which uses a modified Latin script.
Also there are about 10m Uyghurs as of 2010, not 8m.
This disgusts me. It's like those people are being dehumanized like the Jews. Maybe this is part of a wider conspiracy so when another another oil, resource grabbing led war is started. People will say and do nothing to stop it because people have sub-consciously brainwashed.
Clearly China is trying to solidify their geographical borders by turning majority ethnic groups in those given regions in to minority groups of ever decreasing influence. This is straight out of a very old playbook for colonization. That they are able to so opening continue doing this in 2017 with so little global acknowledgement is only partially surprising.
And the mainstream media actually investigates and reports on issues using facts?
There are obviously serious issues in Xinjiang. But the fantastical stories don't really help matters. The lack of serious reporting on what is really happening is a cause for concern
But even the original article aka spyware is quoting twitter as a source. I'd like a proper translation and confirmation of the sources before believing it. I'd hope the mainstream media is looking into the spyware issue since it's looks like there might be a story there but it's to hard to tell the real story atm.
