Series: Labour Perspectives on China #3 -Jewher Ilham To understand working conditions, the best place to start is with worker interviews. But how about when this isn’t an option due to extreme gov…
Abuses include arbitrary mass detention of an estimated 1 million to 1.8 million people, and a program to ‘cleanse’ ethnic groups of their ‘extremist’ thoughts through re-education and forced labour. This involves multiple forms of involuntary labour at workplaces across the region and even in other parts of China, writes Jewher Ilham, Forced Labor Project Coordinator of the Worker Rights Consortium.
Uyghur forced labour is woven into the fabric of numerous global supply chains. Researchers have linked Uyghur forced labour to the supply chains of at least 17 industries, including apparel, food, information and communications technology, solar, mining, and automotive.

this comment section, bluntly speaking, sucks and is just an awful read to a non-involved participant. accordingly, i've wiped most of these comments out. we'll see if that's enough to deter the unproductive arguing, the whataboutism, and the multitude of attacks on each other, but if it isn't then this thread will be quickly locked--and if you contribute poorly to it subsequently, i will start levying bans. this is your one warning.
a program to ‘cleanse’ ethnic groups of their ‘extremist’ thoughts through re-education and forced labour
"Arbeit macht frei"
The Chinese wrote the book on that:

China includes/invades regions with different ethnicity and then wants to 'integrate' them into Chinese society - a nice way of denoting the acceptance of Han supremacy. Fuck CCP and its poop bear.
America does the same thing and you have no problem with that, tiny little hypocrite patriot.
Bold of you to assume the person supports everything their government does
tiny little hypocrite patriot.
Are you making up adjectives for yourself? Every single word in it describes you perfectly, Xi bootlicker.
America does the same thing
Bots like you are all the same. 'America does the same' (without any evidence). 'You don't have any problem' with America - as if I'm obliged to criticize America for earning the right to call out China. And as if anything America does is an excuse for China to carry on with shit.
and you have no problem with that
Here's the proof of how little intelligence or imagination you possess: just fact check your strawman accusations. You didn't even bother to check my other comments from today to see what my political stances are. I mean - it's completely wrong on my part to expect any level of intelligence from authoritarian apologists like you.
@Crikeste
you have no problem with that

Right wing talking point and Sinophobia. You are aware that comparing a Chinese person to a yellow bear might be a little racist??
Also it's CPC. CCP is the dogwhistle acronym used by white nationalists. (and coincidentally, your average predditor. No connection there.)
EDIT: Yikes I'm starting to see why the rest of the federation hates you guys so much, Jesus. Progressives fascists...
Sinophobia
You don't get to do inhumane activities and then cry phobia when called out. You leave that right at the door when you raise your iron fist.
You are aware that comparing a Chinese person to a yellow bear might be a little racist??
I see where you are going with this. Twist and misconstrue my words as if it's against a race and then bring in accusations of racism. Here's the news: I didn't target all Chinese like you wanted to believe. Just a bunch of scumbags.
And if it hurts Xi bear's feelings, I don't care - it's something he earned with his actions. I couldn't care any less about the sensibilities of a narcissistic and outright genocidal scumbag. That also applies to the entire CCP.
Also it's CPC. CCP is the dogwhistle acronym used by white nationalists
I don't care what these scumbags call themselves. I don't have to respect a bunch of scumbags with imperial ambitions.
sinophobia
Like how Israel cries antisemitism when they get called out for their genocide. You would fit like a glove in Israel with your mindset.
What... I thought you guys were cool with genocide in the middle east on all of a sudden. Guess it's only when your allies are the ones doing it. They have absolutely no right to be whining about a made-up genocide when they themselves are supporting the modern day holocaust.
Who is "you guys"? Beehaw is not generally on Israel's side in this "conflict". But I'm not surprised that someone from lemmy.ml is just accusing anyone and everyone of that in order to deflect criticism of China's genocide of Uyghurs.
China best genocider numbah won
It's not hard to just, y'know, condemn the genocide in Gaza and the genocide in China
Do you think it's a coincidence that the three major genocides occuring are all against Muslims?
three major genocides
Which ones would be those, is there a list?
I think right now there are well over a dozen genocides going on, and while I haven't found them ordered by number of victims, neither the Congo nor Ukraine ones are particularly against Muslims, while both seem reasonably big.

Today I learned, didn't know how much that had flavored up again. I'm sure there's more I don't know about too.
