In this video, we're going to dive into China's slave labor factories
and shed light on issues that the Chinese Regime has been trying to keep silent for far
too long. Unfortunately, the slave markets are not exactly confined to a single place
or were by any means a one-time occurrence. In reality, forced and slave labor is one of
the most widespread and problematic issues plaguing the entire country.
Is the Chinese Government so stubborn that it simply lets the gross violations of human rights
happen in broad daylight? Has it done anything to stop these activities, or is the Government
itself behind these terrible actions? Find out that and other chilling facts in this video.
Forced labor is not something that just started happening in China. This problem has gone on for
decades. You may have heard about Uighurs in Western China getting subjected to all sorts
of mistreatment, including getting forced into slave labor. This issue has managed to catch the
eyes of the world and the media but is it just the Uighurs that are the victims in China? Absolutely
not. But the reason the world is talking about Uighurs right now is because this time, it's not
some random Chinese criminal organization that is orchestrating these activities.
It is the Chinese Government itself. Of course, the Chinese Regime does not openly accept the fact
that they are subjecting the minority of Uighur Muslims to "concentration" camps. Instead, they've
coined a new term called reeducation facilities. However, we'll get back to this later.
Let's go a little back in time and see how long this problem has persisted in the country.
The short answer is far too long. Since China is a communist regime with a very strict check
and balance on its civilians, getting a clear idea of the number of slave labor can be hard.
However, as things continued to leak to the media, the picture continued to get painted in
front of the world. The first incidents happened in the early 2000s when children started getting
kidnapped and were later found working in brick kilns. As the parents of these children found out,
they mobilized themselves together to look for their children. Many of them could trace their
kids back to some rural areas where they would be forced to work for brick kilns.
After this matter got the public's attention, Chinese media began to report on it as well.
The daily trafficking and how crime organizations went about it were reported.
The fact that the criminals were working alongside the local authorities for this purpose was also
brought up. When matters got out of hand, the Government of China launched an investigation.
Hundreds of brick kilns were inspected and found to be in violation of the law.
Some children were rescued, and these brick kilns were then closed down. In a case like
this, the Government of China may have been collaborating with its criminals for mutual gain,
but as soon as things got too public, they decided to undo the matter by launching an investigation.
Unfortunately, it does not look like the same could ever happen with Uighur Muslims
as the Chinese Regime seems to be directly involved in that one.
Not too long ago, the leaked government files of the Chinese Government showed the
employment histories of as many as 2,000 Uighurs in China. What had happened was that since 2017,
China has been putting its Uighur Muslims into internment camps. China referred to these as
its reeducation camps. However, the reality was anything but that. What really happens is that
China isolates these Uighur Muslims based on their ethnicity and religion. Since the communist Regime
does not like religion or religious activities, it feels like it deserves total control over the
lives of those that are even remotely religious. But on paper, China seems to be putting these
underprivileged people under reeducation and eliminating poverty by offering them jobs.
It's interesting to see that many of the people inside reeducation camps were already set out
to be doctors and engineers. They were separated from their family, their religion, and everything
else simply because of their religious beliefs. After spending years in these camps where they
couldn't really get out, these people are forced into manual labor across different parts of China.
Now think about it one more time.The Chinese Regime handpicks people from a very small minority
of its community because they are Muslims or even practicing Christians. It then forces
these people into facilities that aim to make them less religious through any means possible.
It's important to understand that these people have zero choices in this regard.
After a certain number of years, the Government randomly relocates these scores of people across
so many different areas that it becomes impossible for them to present a united front. Wherever
they're sent, they are sent there as slave labor. Unfortunately, on paper, China actually
calls these arrangements "job opportunities," which is nice enough to offer to the minorities.
The Regime also claims that these activities help keep religious fanaticism in check and helps them
take care of any radical movements brewing up. In reality, there has never been any evidence
presented that would suggest that these people posed a danger for the Regime or the country.
A recent study into Xinjiang's own report on the employment history
tells more than you need to know. The province's official website boasts that their reeducation
arrangement has attracted investors to build hundreds of factories in the area.
The report publishing the details of a factory showed the ages of Uighurs that were forcibly
employed there. People as old as 70 years old were working in the factories where the average age,
out of 140+ people, seemed to be above 40. To make it worse, these people were making less
than 100 dollars per month which didn't even meet the minimum wage requirements.
In essence, China was forcing this community to stay away from their families,
work for 85 cents per hour, and forgo their religious beliefs after getting
"enlightened" in the reeducation facilities. Just like brainwashing is labeled as job training,
forced slave labor is labeled by the country as "poverty alleviation." The country that seems to
be violating human rights on the outside claims to be serving humanity most selflessly, on paper.
Did you know that the Chinese province Xinjian produces 45% of the world's polysilicon?
This is one of the key components needed for a solar panel. Since Xinjian is filled with forced
and exploited Uighur labor, U.K.'s Sheffield Hallam University decided to investigate.
The report found that the Chinese Government claimed that these programs were in accordance
with the People's Republic of China law. The Government also said that all workers
are engaged voluntarily in a collaborative government-supported effort to alleviate poverty.
However, was there any truth to that? Apparently not. This is what the report said, "However,
significant evidence - largely drawn from government and corporate sources - reveals that
labor transfers are deployed in the Uyghur Region within an environment of unprecedented coercion,
undergirded by the constant threat of reeducation and internment."
Unfortunately, the matter is worse than a small number of people being forced to work
for 85 cents an hour or locked up in reeducation camps. According to human rights organizations,
China has forcibly relocated as many as a million Uighurs over the last couple of years.
In fact, there is evidence present that the Regime has also been involved in systematically
sterilizing the women of that area, so its people are unable to further increase their populations.
China claims to be keen on social stability by conducting acts like this,
but it's clear that it's being done in the most inhumane way possible.
Over the years, many human rights organizations have called China out for
its unjustifiable actions across the entire country, and particularly against Uighurs.
China has always managed to sweep things under the carpet, and on the off chance that things do
happen to come out, China ends up offering explanations that are far from the truth.
Since the U.S. and other countries called China out for its violations of human rights,
China said that it was trying to fight Islamic militancy and separatism in the region.
Independent analysts refer to that stance as being very far from the truth.
That's all from this one, folks. Thank you for watching. If you wish to help the victims of these
authoritarian regimes, there are many independent international organizations that are working to
aid these people. Alternatively, you can do your part by spreading awareness about it. Don’t forget
