Report: China Forces Tibetans into Mass Labor Camps

Report: China Forces Tibetans into Mass Labor Camps

Chinese labor camps “accompanied by enforced indoctrination, intrusive surveillance, and harsh punishments.”

China is forcing Tibet’s native population into military-style labor camps, a new report shows.

Over half a million ethnic Tibetans were “trained” as part of Beijing’s forced labor program between January and July 2020 — almost 15 percent of the region’s population, the report released on Tuesday by the D.C.-based Jamestown Foundation revealed.

In these camps, Tibetans of all ages are subjected to “militarized training regimen” conducted by the “People’s Armed Police drill sergeants,” the report said. The “camps are accompanied by enforced indoctrination, intrusive surveillance, and harsh punishments for those who fail to meet labor transfer quotas,” Australian newspaper the Sydney Morning Herald reported citing the report.

Since Communist China annexed the Buddhist kingdom of Tibet in 1950, it has carried out a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing and religious suppression. Beijing is running a similar movement in the neighboring Muslim-majority Xinjiang province. The regime cynically describes these forced labor camps as centers for “re-education” and “free vocational training.”

Reuters reported the finding on Tibet’s mass labor camps:

China is pushing growing numbers of Tibetan rural laborers off the land and into recently built military-style training centers where they are turned into factory workers, mirroring a program in the western Xinjiang region that rights groups have branded coercive labor.

Beijing has set quotas for the mass transfer of rural laborers within Tibet and to other parts of China, according to over a hundred state media reports, policy documents from government bureaus in Tibet and procurement requests released between 2016-2020 and reviewed by Reuters. The quota effort marks a rapid expansion of an initiative designed to provide loyal workers for Chinese industry.

A notice posted to the website of Tibet’s regional government website last month said over half a million people were trained as part of the project in the first seven months of 2020 – around 15% of the region’s population. Of this total, almost 50,000 have been transferred into jobs within Tibet, and several thousand have been sent to other parts of China. Many end up in low paid work, including textile manufacturing, construction and agriculture.

“This is now, in my opinion, the strongest, most clear and targeted attack on traditional Tibetan livelihoods that we have seen almost since the Cultural Revolution” of 1966 to 1976, said Adrian Zenz, an independent Tibet and Xinjiang researcher, who compiled the core findings about the program. These are detailed in a report released this week by the Jamestown Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based institute that focuses on policy issues of strategic importance to the U.S.

Last month, President Donald Trump’s administration condemned the Chinese treatment of the Muslim Uyghurs and other minorities.

China is carrying out “horrific acts against women, including forced abortion, forced sterilization and other coercive birth control methods, state-sponsored forced labor, sexual violence including through rape in detention, compulsory home-stays by Han officials and forced marriages,” National Security Council spokesman John Ullyot said.

The drive towards mass internment and forced labor under China’s current leader Xi Jinping is reminiscent of Mao Zedong’s “re-education through labor” campaign that killed tens of millions of Chinese.

The persecution is not limited to Uyghur Muslims and Tibetan Buddhists. The Xi Jinping-led Communist Party is targeting China’s 60 million-strong Christian population. Party officials have been coercing Chinese Christians into renouncing their faith and embracing Xi’s doctrine.

The New York Post in January described the ongoing Communist onslaught on China’s Christians: “Catholic churches torn down or denuded of their crosses and statues. Images of the Madonna and Child replaced with pictures of “People’s Leader” Xi Jinping. (…) The Ten Commandments painted over with quotes from Xi.”

Paging Richard Gere.

I missed the NBA reaction.

I am waiting for Dems to mutter something about work and freedom to dismiss. Paging Walter Duranty.

Is anything being done to bring down the CCP? They appear to be worse than Hitler and the Nazis.

    In terms of absolute numbers and progressive policies (e.g. one-child/selective-child, diversity/racism/sexism, redistributive change), the communists were always worse than the socialists, the fascists, and other left-wing/central structured regimes.

Commie a-holes.

Gearing up a labor pool for the iPhone 12?

Why does China still havea Most Favored Nation trade status with us?

    “Why does China still havea Most Favored Nation trade status with us?”

    I’m asking myself the same thing, as the German government considers China a ‘developing country’ – paying them €650 million per year as development aid…

      Germany can afford it. Uncle Sucker pays for their defense, and our tax deductions for vehicle leases help their economy with the sale of a lot of cars.

The NY Times will be coming out with the 1949 Project any day on Chinese slavery

It’s a good thing we don’t have any political leaders in this country who would be inclined to do something like that to us conservatives, if they had the opportunity!

This horrific.

Where are all the human rights activists?

Mark Tapscott, over at Instapundit, wrote an article for HillFaith, which noted that the Chinese have fundamentally changed the story of Jesus and the adulterer, known for “he who is without sin”.

In the new Chinese-approved version, everything happens mostly as it does in the Bible, but once the men have sheepishly walked away without slaughtering the woman, Jesus then KILLS her HIMSELF, because the law is the law, and she broke it.

Says Tapscott’s piece:

>> According to Christian Headlines, the CCP changed the ending so that in the textbook it reads like this: “When the crowd disappeared, Jesus stoned the sinner to death saying, ‘I, too, am a sinner. But if the law could only be executed by men without blemish, the law would be dead.’” <<
