I am sure the Chinese members here will have the perfect excuse to cover this up as well....I will give the first one "Western Propaganda".



Uighur people from Xinjiang working in other parts of China are subject to "political" checks and work under strict "half-military" style management, according to new evidence discovered by Sky News.

The Xinjiang government runs an official "labour transfer programme", according to its 2019 Five Year Plan, "so as to provide more employment opportunities for the surplus rural labour force".

Workers are "transferred to employment" in other provinces of China.

A report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute estimated that at least 80,000 Uighur workers were transferred out of Xinjiang between 2017 and 2019, although it said the actual figure was likely to be far higher.

Human rights groups have warned that such strict controls could amount to forced labour.

On Chinese websites, there are dozens of postings advertising Uighur labour, in batches of 50 to 100 workers.

Baidu, the company hosting the job postings, did not respond to a request for comment.

Those adverts suggest tight political and social controls. One states that the "security of workers will be guaranteed by the government".

One agent told us that workers from Xinjiang needed to be "examined politically" before they could be transferred.

The local government of the receiving province would also do a "political examination".

All workers would be accompanied by "supervisors", the agent said, and "under half-military management".

Another said that without local government approval, workers could not be arranged because "the ethnic minority issue is a severe problem".

A third said the salary of the "supervisors" was paid by the Personnel Bureau of the Xinjiang government.

Sky News visited seafood processing plants that had used Uighur labour
State media often celebrates the working conditions of Uighur workers in other parts of China.

One local news video describes 200 Uighur workers at a factory in Shandong, a coastal province in east China, saying: "Supported by all relevant government departments, the company develops well.

"They will continue creating a harmonious work environment for our Uighur compatriots."

The owner of the factory, a seafood processing plant, said that all the Uighur workers had returned home to Xinjiang because of the pandemic and that reports of forced labour was "nonsense".

He said that workers went there because they chose to, earned at least £300 per month, and had air conditioners in their on-site dormitories.

Those dormitories were monitored by CCTV in a front office which also contained riot control gear.

If workers wished to leave the factory, the owner told us, the company would take them in two buses.

Twelve police officers and Communist Party officials then arrived.

They questioned us for two hours, before ordering us to leave town.

At another seafood processing factory in the same province, which until recently had a UK subsidiary, according to Companies House filings, a manager waiting at the entrance said there were no Uighur workers, nor had there been in the several years he had worked there.

But an article on the company's own website, posted on 18 March 2020, shows Uighur workers arriving from Xinjiang.

The accompanying announcement says that their arrival will help alleviate poverty and the "integration of the national family".

Internet only exists in China. Slavery only exists in West.

China is land of rivers of milk and honey. Rest is all Western propaganda.
 
Thank, would you live in China rather than the USA?

I mean China is like a Mary Sue it's perfect in every way.
Ofcourse dude I been a bad boy. Made it to Santa's naughty list.

I need to be reeducated.
When I read Notorious Sky News, then stop reading.
Yea sky is blue. It is Western propaganda.
 
What does this screenshot say?

This particular accusation seems a bit fishy. I have a cousin who works in HR for a poultry factory in the UK. The company regularly recruits Eastern European workers and arranges travel for them from Eastern Europe to the UK. British farmers often hire eastern european fruit pickers and they get accomodation on site.

What is the minimum wage in China? According to google its 2500CNY, the video suggests these guys get paid 2700VNY (300gbp per month). Maybe China is shipping workers to the areas that have work?

If so why the secrecy, surely you would agree that is a good thing, why try to censor such development as it will kill the accusation.

Good point. Maybe they're suspicious of British news channels? Maybe they don't want to discuss their HR policies without corperate approval? The guy on the phone says the minority issue is serious - what does he mean?

What I can make out is that to gain employment they need government approval - so the government decides what they do, do they get a say in this? - i.e. forced labour.

If it's on internet, why is this a secret? BTW, nobody trusts the british.

It's on the internet now, no one goes looking for 5-100 Uighurs outside of China, the article sheds light on this. Obviously your point of view will be to question such a report, after all the your Master Modi is hoping on doing the same in Kashmir.

Not likely. No country in South Asia is as developed as Xinjiang. Even if modi wanted to. First, India needs to reach the level of social development in Xinjiang. Such as literacy rate, per capita power consumption, broadband penetration rate.
Chna has given the blueprint on how to integrate the Muslim population of a non-Muslim majority country...
Your meaning? In the next 20 years. Will India reach the development level of Xinjiang?
