Chilling Video: Inside China's Re-Education Prisons

A leftover from last week, but it absolutely merits flagging -- especially as Americans gear up to celebrate the founding of our nation. We have our flaws, no doubt, but living in this great, free country is an irreplaceable gift. It's something we should treasure, particularly when we encounter reminders of what it's like to live under repressive regimes. With all the casual, hyperbolic talk about 'fascism' and 'concentration camps' embedded in our domestic political rhetoric, a recent BBC investigative report into China's massive "thought transformation" prison system should help focus our minds on what those concepts actually look like in practice. Allahpundit gives us the backdrop:


This is more accurately regarded as an internment or reeducation camp, I suppose, since the goal is brainwashing, not hard labor unto death. But the scale of the concentration is vast: Last August the Journal that upwards of one million Muslim Uighurs, roughly seven percent of the population of China’s Xinjiang region, had been packed off to 1,300+ camps for “reeducation.” A more recent estimate by CFRsays the number may run as high as two million. It’s a modern-day gulag, being operated on an industrial scale, and you scarcely hear about it. Including and especially from Muslim governments abroad, which are more interested in preserving their economic relationships with China than in human rights for members of their faith.


These Muslims are rounded up without charges, en masse, under the pretext of "de-radicalizing" them. But many are detained based on zero evidence of radicalization: "Most people in the camps have never been charged with crimes and have no legal avenues to challenge their detentions. The detainees seem to have been targeted for a variety of reasons, according to media reports, including traveling to or contacting people from any of the twenty-six countries China considers sensitive, such as Turkey and Afghanistan; attending services at mosques; and sending texts containing Quranic verses. Often, their only crime is being Muslim..." Details from the Wall Street Journal piece AP mentions in his post are as creepy as one might imagine. This is like something out of a dystopian Statist fever dream:
