Zhao Kezhi, Minister of Public Security of the Chinese Communist Party.
At a Time when the international community is condemning the Chinese Communist Party’s violation of Uyghur human rights in Xinjiang as genocide, CPPCC Chairman Wang Yang and Public Security Minister Zhao Kezhi have made rare trips to Xinjiang to conduct research. According to a Hong Kong media report, the frequent visits of top officials to Xinjiang may be a sign that the Chinese Communist Party is brewing a major operation there.
According to the Chinese Communist Party media, Zhao Kezhi, the CPC State Councilor and Minister of Public Security, arrived in Xinjiang on March 19 and visited Urumqi, Turpan and the Production and Construction Corps, inspecting public security police stations, detention centers and special police training bases, and calling for good anti-terrorism and stability maintenance work.
Before that, Wang Yang, who is also the head of the Xinjiang Working Group of the CPC Central Committee, was in Xinjiang from March 15 to 17 for research, and his entourage was divided into four groups, going to Urumqi, Kashgar, Turpan, Hami, Kizilsu, Changji and other places, interviewing officials, experts and scholars, people and religious figures.
An article in Hong Kong media Ming Pao on the 25th said that the recent frequent visits to Xinjiang by the top echelons of the CPC Central Committee, if either local intelligence has been received that there may be hidden concerns, or the CPC will be brewing a major operation in the region.
Millions of Uighurs in Concentration Camps
Xinjiang, with a population of 25 million, reportedly has some 1,200 concentration camps in the region, where millions of Uighurs are being held.
Back on November 24, 2019, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and partner media published an investigative report revealing the inside story.
The report was written by 14 countries, 17 media organizations and more than 75 journalists who participated in the investigation. The report details the forced brainwashing of Uighurs in the heavily guarded “concentration camps” in Xinjiang, where they were forced to give up their own language and way of thinking.
The report includes the fact that no escapes were allowed and that all information on those educated was entered into an “integrated platform” of public security. Even foreign nationals of former Xinjiang origin who have acquired foreign citizenship are sent to Education camps if they are considered suspicious and are being watched. After being sent in, they are given at least a year to pass the ideological reform audit and leave the camp.
The report says the CCP has detained upwards of 1 million Uighurs, Kazakhs and other religious minorities in this way over the past three years.
Western media outlets such as the Associated Press, BBC and NBC interviewed those involved and the victims’ accounts at the time.
On November 16 of the same year, the New York Times exposed more than 400 pages of secret documents leaked from within the Chinese Communist Party that showed Xi Jinping had led the crackdown on Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang. Xi called for “no tolerance” and “no mercy” for them.
Information gathered by satellite found that there are some 1,200 concentration camps in Xinjiang, where millions of Uighurs are being held.
Journalist’s Xinjiang Insight: Communist Party Worse Than Taliban
Olsi Jazexhi, a Canadian historian who traveled to Xinjiang in October 2019, told the story of his visit to Xinjiang’s concentration camps at a seminar on the current situation of the Uighurs.
Jazexhi is a Canadian-Albanian with a PhD in history. The Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda ministry allowed him to visit Xinjiang with some journalists in August 2019 after determining that he was a more comfortable candidate.
The Communist Party’s so-called “vocational education schools” are actually mass incarceration centers for forced brainwashing, according to Jazer. The extremist regime is committing horrific crimes, and what it is doing in Xinjiang is slaughtering minorities and faiths and exterminating them.
The Communist Party takes Uighur men and women, boys and girls, of all ages, who show even the slightest trace of religious belief, and captures them and sends them here for brainwashing. Young people from the camps were arranged to sing and dance in front of foreign journalists. Foreign journalists were also invited to dance with the young people.
He felt that people were very afraid to talk to foreigners, that there was extreme fear and terror, and that there was a large police and military presence everywhere,” said Jia.
I’ve been to a lot of crazy countries, and I was in Palestine a few months ago,” he said. But I have never seen a government like this – the Chinese Communist government is imprisoning and discriminating against its own citizens on a massive scale.” The final conclusion he came to was that the Chinese Communist Party is worse than the Taliban.
The day before former U.S. President Donald Trump left office (Jan. 19), the State Department characterized the Communist government’s treatment of Uyghurs and other Muslims as “genocide,” setting up a chessboard for the subsequent game in Xinjiang.
On February 22, the Canadian House of Representatives passed a non-binding motion affirming Beijing‘s policy toward Muslims in Xinjiang as “genocide.
On March 22, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand joined forces on the same day to sanction Chinese officials and institutions over the Xinjiang issue.
The Australian and New Zealand governments issued a joint statement on March 23 supporting the sanctions, expressing deep concern about the CCP’s violations of the human rights of Uighurs and other ethnic minorities, and emphasizing that the evidence of the CCP’s human rights abuses is overwhelming.
In response to the recent Xinjiang research by Wang Yang and Zhao Kezhi, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying tweeted on March 3 that “China welcomes everyone to Xinjiang. Some analysts say that Wang Yang and Zhao Kezhi may have gone to Xinjiang to direct the destruction of evidence, and that the CCP may next allow international investigations to go to Xinjiang.
At the same time, a number of videos promoting the “good Life and freedom” of Xinjiang’s ethnic minorities have appeared on Twitter and oil tubes, which are blocked by the Chinese Communist Party. It is believed that this is a preemptive move by the CCP to allow the international community to go to Xinjiang to investigate.
