The article talks about a, presumably, Kazakh national being locked up in a forced labour camp.
Two questions: is Dina Nurdybai Chinese or Kazakh? If Kazakh, how did she end up in that camp if the police took her from her home in Almaty? Is Kazakhstan sending their own people to those camps too?
- yorwba 6y ago"Kazakh" is one of the 56 ethnicities officially recognized by the Chinese government, so it's easily possible to be simultaneously Chinese and Kazakh. In Dina Nurdybai's case, the article mentions that her new home is in Almaty, Kazakhstan but "she lived in the county of Nilka, located in northeast Xinjiang, near the border with Kazakhstan". Nilka is part of the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilka_County https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilka_County
