China's Actions Classified As Genocide
The United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Lithuania, and the Netherlands all classify China's actions as genocide 1. Genocide is the most grievous human rights designation.
Uyghurs are an ethnic group based in central Asia. Uyghurs practiced their culture, language, and diverse religions throughout human history. It is estimated that 2-3 million Uyghurs, and other Turkic peoples, are held in concentration camps 2.
Uyghurs are subjected to constant intimidation, coercion, and physical violence, and surveillance. Methods range anywhere from physical and psychological abuse to threats against families.
While in the camps, government officials force Uyghurs to erase their culture, language, and religion. Women are sterilized, and children are separated from their families.
They are also used for slave labor to benefit Chinese factories 3. This practice occurs in two ways.
The first way is using factories located in the East Turkistan region (renamed Xinjiang) to produce goods at no labor cost 4.
The second is relocating Uyghurs from their homeland in East Turkistan to factories elsewhere in China. The latter is used as a tactic to prevent advocacy for workers' rights 5. Other sources claim it is to dissociate Uyghurs from their culture and homes 6.
