From the article:
Behind locked gates, men and women are sewing sportswear that can end up on U.S. college campuses and sports teams.
This is one of a growing number of internment camps in the Xinjiang region, where by some estimates 1 million Muslims are detained, forced to give up their language and their religion and subject to political indoctrination. Now, the Chinese government is also forcing some detainees to work in manufacturing and food industries. Some of them are within the internment camps; others are privately owned, state-subsidized factories where detainees are sent once they are released.

A long article, but more information on how the very repressive Chinese Government is determined to eliminate religion and ethnicity in service to their goal of making brave new citizens for their religion free Utopia.

I understand why you avoid it.
Major Nikon
(36,899 posts)...and predictably you refused to answer.
Do you actually have any interest in discussion about the topic, or is this just another sermon?
guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)I am certain that we do.
So how do we deal with it?
And do we recognize that intolerance is an issue for everyone?
I think we do.
Major Nikon
(36,899 posts)...for a change.
Not playin your games anymore, gil. If you cant manage to answer relevant questions, all you are doing is proving you have no interest in substantive discussion and are simply interested in providing sermons with no critical thinking involved. I get thats how you were indoctrinated, but reason and critical thinking demand a different course of action.
Just sayin
guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)Just as many here do.
And I see no point in explaining what has been explained many times.
Now that we have settled that, what do you feel that these camps reveal about the Government of China? Aside from the obvious intolerance for theism in any form, is power and absolute the only goal?

guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)Is it because the Chinese Government is run by atheists?
Major Nikon
(36,899 posts)If you want to come to this group and give sermons, so be it. But please dont insult the intelligence of everyone by pretending you are all about meaningful discourse when you so often prove you aint.
guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)Real discussion is not endless posts about "religion is the most evil thing in the world", or a constant recitation of specific cases of abuse.
But some here think that it is.
Major Nikon

(42,649 posts)But, in the spirit of actual dialogue,
Real discussion is not endless posts about "religion is the most evil thing in the world", or a constant recitation of specific cases of abuse.
But some here think that it is.
Major Nikon
(36,899 posts)You even went to the extent of inventing your own rule for this group so you could pretend to be victimized while whining incessantly when you arbitrarily decided your own rule had been broken.
So yeah, we get that, Gil. Just kinda makes you look all the more like a hypocrite when you engage in such lame name calling nonsense. Amazing what you reveal about yourself, eh?

Major Nikon
(36,899 posts)After so much projection and nonsense, your sermons fall on deaf ears.
trotsky
(49,533 posts)Because you've been asked to do this before and refused.
I suspect you will refuse again, and try to turn this around to an attack on me.

(7,886 posts)But this "Chinese Government is determined to eliminate religion and ethnicity in service to their goal of making brave new citizens for their religion free Utopia." is pure fabrication on your behalf.
guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)Perhaps the Chinese Government has other motives.
Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)What are your motives?
guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)What was your motive for making that accusation?
Major Nikon
(36,899 posts)... since you evidently didnt understand it.
trotsky
(49,533 posts)They do. You can't pin this on atheism no matter how many times you try.
guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)Others share that same feeling.
trotsky
(49,533 posts)If you were simply interested in genuine dialog like you claim to be, your posts would reflect that.
But they do not.
