'Think of your family': China threatens European citizens over Xinjiang protests
- mdorazio 7y agoAnd so it seems that cold war tactics are still alive and well in China. This is the kind of story I would expect to read about happening in 1950s Berlin.
- eznoonze 7y agoWorse thing is: China always blames others for having 'cold war' mentality when in reality they are the one with hardcore cold war tactics all along.
- CrackerNews 7y agoIt's a chicken and the egg problem. Both sides will use subterfuge and espionage against each other. They will counter with secret intelligence services or outright detainment camps and propaganda. One side won't give up when they can say that the other side is ready to exploit them. It has gotten to the point where the Chinese view the Uighurs as potential proxy agents and so they heavily track and watch them and employ propaganda and reeducation camps against them.
- mfer 7y agoIs this really a new thing for China? Reconditioning camps and treatment of people in the manners being talked about are something I read about years ago with other people groups. That being said... reading about this makes me sad.
- hkmaxpro 7y agoNot new, just like organ harvesting has been reported in the (Chinese) news for 20 years. But only after recent Xinjiang blindfolding Uighurs, NBA & Blizzard kowtowing does the west fully wake up to such news. It’s late, but better than never.
