A new bizarre announcement from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
claims that most of the Muslim Uighurs and Kazakhs that have been
arrested and put into concentration camps ("re-education centers")
have now been released.
Starting in 2016, reports were coming out of East Turkistan (Xinjiang
Province) that tens or hundreds of thousands of Muslim Uighurs and
Kazakhs were being arrested and put into concentration camps. At
first, the CCP vehemently denied that these concentration camps even
existed. But more and more satellite imagery was published showing
the existence of huge concentration camps and crematoria. By 2019,
the evidence collected from satellites and on the ground indicates
that over one million Uighurs and Kazakhs have been locked up in these
concentration camps.
With the overwhelming evidence piling up, the the CCP was forced last
year to admit that they had locked up a million Uighurs and Kazakhs in
"reeducation centers," but claimed that the Uighurs and Kazakhs were
being locked up so that they could be "reeducated" and given new
skills that they could use in Chinese society.
On Tuesday, Xinjiang Governor Shohrat Zakir made an announcement:
<QUOTE>"Most of the graduates from the vocational training
centers have been reintegrated into society, More than 90 percent
of the graduates have found satisfactory jobs with good incomes.
...
Many of these training centres have become venues for short-term
classes on farming skills, and some are offering short-term skills
improvement courses for people before they take up their new
jobs."<END QUOTE>
People in the West are scratching their heads wondering what this
means. If there were hundreds of thousands of former prisoners
suddenly walking free in the streets of Xinjiang province, then it
would already have been noticed, and no announcement would be
necessary. So if these hundreds of thousands of Uighurs and Kazakhs
are no longer in the "reeducation centers," then where are they?

**** From 'Re-education' to slave labor
****
One possibility is that they've been sent to the crematoria, much like
the "graduates" of Hitler's concentration camps. That may turn out to
be true for a substantial number of them, but we may not know for a
long time, just as we never found out about Hitler's crematoria until
after the war.
Barry Sautman, an expert on ethnic politics in China at the Hong Kong
University of Science and Technology, provides a different possible
explanation:
<QUOTE>"They may mean that such persons no longer reside
within the centers. It does not mean that such persons have
returned to the status quo ante, are no longer under close
supervision, or work somewhere other than an enterprise connected
to one of the centres."<END QUOTE>
This makes sense. If you have a million prisoners, then use them as
slave labor on farms and in factories.
****
**** Hitler's Force Labor System, 1939-1945
****
That's what Hitler did, according to the project "Forced Labor
1939-1945" archive in Berlin:
<QUOTE>"Nazi Germany created one of the largest forced labor
systems in history: Over twenty million foreign civilian workers,
concentration camp prisoners and prisoners of war from all of the
occupied countries were required to perform forced labor in
Germany in the course of the Second World War.
At the height of the so-called “Ausländereinsatz” (use of
foreigners) in August 1944, six million civilians were forced to
perform forced labor in the German Reich, most of them from Poland
and the Soviet Union. Over one third were women, some of whom were
abducted together with their children or gave birth to their
children in the camps. In 1944, nearly two million prisoners of
war were exploited to work in the German economy. From 1943,
German industry also increasingly used concentration camp
detainees as a source of forced labor."<END QUOTE>
So it seems likely that the CCP is using Uighurs and Kazakhs
concentration camp detainees as forced labor.
Using these prisoners as forced laborers makes a lot of sense. But
also, as I've described in my book, "War Between China and Japan,"
both Chiang Kai-Shek and Mao Zedong admired Adolf Hitler and his
methods, and Xi Jinping is also copy Hitler's methods in illegally
annexing the South China.
This story about "releasing" Uighurs and Kazakhs is just breaking
today, so there's a lot we don't know. But as I keep pointing out,
the CCP has adopted some of the stupidest policies in the history of
the world since World War II, and using Uighurs and Kazakhs as slave
labor would be consistent with that.

Must Be Prepared" (Generational Theory Book Series, Book 2) Paperback:
