Why Muslim nations remain silent as China sends ethnic minorities to re-education camps

When is Bangladesh going to treat Bangladeshis with "respect and dignity"?

Beijing's crackdown on its ethnic Muslim-minority Uyghurs has been met with international condemnation, howeversome very significant voices have remained silent— those of Muslim nations.

The United Nations estimates that up to 1 million Uyghurs, Kazakhs and other minorities have allegedly been detained in China's far-western Xinjiang province since 2017.

Experts say Muslims nations are keeping quiet due to China's economic and political clout as well as foreign policy considerations.

China policy expert Michael Clarke, from the Australian National University, told the ABC that China's economic power and the fear of retaliation was a big factor in Muslim politics.

"You're dealing with one of the most powerful states in the world," Dr Clarke said.

"It's ultimately a very unfortunate situation the Uyghur people find themselves in."

In contrast, countries including Australia and the United States have publicly denounced Beijing's actions in the region.

The Turkic-speaking ethnic minorities have been detained in 're-education' camps and subjected to political indoctrination, including being forced to learn a different language and give up their faith.

Recent research reveals that the 28 detention facilities have expanded by more than 2 million square metres since the beginning of last year and detainees have been forced to sew clothes for export to a US sportswear company.

A deafening silence
Governments of Muslim-majority nations including Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia have avoided raising the matter publicly.

Pakistan has gone even further by defending China, saying the reporting on the Uyghurs' situation has been "sensationalised" by Western media.

While the Indonesian Government has remained largely quiet on the topic, it finally raised the issue of the camps this week after growing internal pressure from Islamic groups and amid increased media coverage.

"Of course, we reject or [want to] prevent any human rights violations," Jusuf Kalla, Vice-President of Indonesia, told local journalistson Monday.

"However, we don't want to intervene in the domestic affairs of another country,"he said.

The statement is in stark contrast to the stance of Indonesia onother Muslim issues such as the Israel-Palestine conflict and the plight of the ethnic minority Rohingya in Myanmar.

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iran, Malaysia and others have also repeatedly condemned the persecution of Rohingya Muslims and Israel's treatment of Palestinians.

An economy 180 times bigger
Dr Clarke said China's economyis 180 times bigger than that of a country such as Myanmar, making the latter a far safer target for criticism.

"In Myanmar, you're dealing with a much weaker regional state which is much more open to pressure and international criticism," he said.

Chinese investments and contracts in the Middle East and North Africa from 2005 until this year amount to $144.8 billion.

In Malaysia and Indonesia,it is $121.6 billion over the same period, according to think tank American Enterprise Institute.

Beijing has heavily invested in state-owned oil and gas industries in Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and promises continued investments across Asia, Africa and the Middle East with its Belt and Road initiative.

"It [seems] to act as a break on any of those states from openly criticising Beijing," Dr Clarke said.

Beijing's treatment of Uyghurs and other Muslim groups has not deterred Muslim tourists from travelling to China.

Muslim travellers spent more than $US8 billion($11.3 billion)in China this year, a figure that is expected to increase by $US1 billion ($1.4 billion) annually, according to a recent report from market research company Salam Standard.

China's non-intervention stance pays off
Beijing's policy of "non-intervention", whereby it avoids becoming involved in the domestic affairs of other nations, has long been a key part of its foreign policy agenda.

But analysts say it is now paying off with Muslim countries reciprocating the favour.

China has gone as so far as to repeatedly abstain from votes or use its veto power in UN security council meetings on many international interventions, such as proposed sanctions in Syria and in Myanmar.

"Many [Muslim nations] have their own internal issues whether its religious or ethnic minorities … so they are very loathe to criticise Beijing for its handling of its own problems given they have their own problems to deal with," Dr Clarke said.

This case can be made for Turkey, which has spoken out against China on Xinjiang — a move Beijing has not forgotten.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the events in the restive province as "a kind of genocide" while Turkey also provided asylum for Uyghurs fleeing the region.

Beijing had extended an offer of support during this year's economic crisis in Turkey, on the provision that Ankara didn't release any "irresponsible remarks" related to Uyghurs or ethnic policy in Xinjiang — and no comments on the matter have been publicly made since.

"Unfortunately, it all comes down to the calculation of [whether] it's of any benefit to us and our relationships with others more broadly," Dr Clarke said

The Indonesian Government did not respond to requests for comment.

LOL at the Muslims.

Because we know it is all #FakeNews

Dude.....

India is wrong to occupy and mistreat Kashmir.

China is wrong on their treatment of Uyghur.

Pakistan cannot complain of Kashmir and then remain silent about Uyghur.

What about Bangladeshi silence on uyghur then ??

 

[UKBengali]

What about Bangladeshi silence on uyghur then ??

BD of course should talk against China.

Pakistan also needs to condemn China about mistreatment of Uyghur?

 

[Clutch]

BD of course should talk against China.

Pakistan also needs to condemn China about mistreatment of Uyghur?

Is Bangladesh doing so? If yes, what have they done?

 

[haidian]

BD of course should talk against China.

Pakistan also needs to condemn China about mistreatment of Uyghur?

Who cares dirt poor Bangladesh with GDP smaller than a Chinese city talks about.

 

[UKBengali]

Who cares dirt poor Bangladesh with GDP smaller than a Chinese city talks about.

Which Chinese city has GDP of 300 billion US dollars or more? Only Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing I think.
BD has higher GDP than Pakistan now.

 

[艹艹艹]

The day will come when pretty much the whole Muslim world will pressure China to treat their Muslims with respect and dignity.

The Muslim world and China have existed in the world for thousands of years. During these thousands of years, the Muslim world conducted friendly trade with China and sold Chinese goods to Europe.
This is the testimony of the silk road. For thousands of years the Muslim world did not put pressure on China.

LOL at the genocidal Anglo Saxons.

Anglo-Saxons haven't been in charge of England for 950 years. The Celts have been 'exploring' and pillaging and raping and exploiting and murdering and genociding and stealing since. The UK is not even 20% Anglo-Saxon. England is barely 20%. The UK is 75% celtic.

What they did to the rest of the world, they did worse to Europe:

Thousands of horsemen may have swept into Bronze Age Europe, transforming the local population

“It looks like males migrating in war, with horses and wagons,” says lead author and population geneticist Mattias Jakobsson of Uppsala University in Sweden.

the team calculated that there were perhaps 10 men for every woman in the migration of Yamnaya men to Europe (with a range of five to 14 migrating men for every woman). That ratio is “extreme”—even more lopsided than the mostly male wave of Spanish conquistadores who came by ship to the Americas in the late 1500s, Goldberg says.

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/201...onze-age-europe-transforming-local-population

The proto-celts did 'exploring' and pillaging and raping and exploiting and murdering and genociding and stealing back 4-5000 years ago.

What they did to Western Europe, they did to the Americas, tried to do to Africa and Asia in the 1800s.

The Nordics (Viking and Saxons) were tame, and I don't even have to say compared to.

Time for the Saxons in England to wake up from this stupid idotic neo-nazis Muslim&white-hating trend of Steve Bannon, Trump, and Alex Jones. Saxons need to realize soon they are not "white", Saxons are white. Celts are not white, but "white".

It is partly the neo-nazis that are yelling kick out the rapefugees from Europe, then the celtic neo-nazis should go first.

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

Because Muslims are not as foolish as you expected.

Exactly. Some BD and Indian posters have a big problem with the Chinese and Pakistani alliance. They think their words on a forum will affect it. LOL

They are all making the correct decision. Everyone is sick of the US adventurism in the Muslim world and especially their open support of Israel’s genocide against defenseless Palestinians.

The West doesn’t have a right to say anything until they fix the problems they themselves created and withdraw their militaries.

Who cares dirt poor Bangladesh with GDP smaller than a Chinese city talks about.

What you talking about? Superpower Bangladesh is super relevant in containing China because they say so!:

https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/bipa...us-genocide-label-of-myanmar-killings.592677/

"BD can be one of the pivotal countries that can make sure that China stays contained in it's East Asian sphere.
A country like that must never be allowed to have too much power."

"I never seen more weird claim than they have in south china sea."

"It would be a global disaster if China one day replace United States as the global hegemony. Despite all the faults United States has, it is still a powerful bastion of liberal democracy. Whose fundamental values strive for democracy, rule of law, human rights, gender equality, racial and ethnic inclusiveness, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of protest and many other things which we can identify as the propellers of civilization. I am all for China achieving economic prosperity and average Chinese people enjoying a good life, but Chinese state, in it's current form should never be allowed to replace US as the most dominant power in the world. It's neighboring counties in East Asia should act as a bullwark checking the destructive power and influence of ruthless autocratic Chinese state."

etc etc etc....Please pay attention to this super relevant "country"...and watch out!

For all those who say the re-education camps are bad. Sanctions murder lives. Blockade of Gaza kills. Yemen blockade killing civilians. The sanctions on PDRK killing civilians. has killed millions over the years. End blockade of relief and aid and end the sanctions on farm equipment and fuel and the limiting of food imports.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...or-north-korea-grinds-to-a-halt-idUSKCN1L529H

All the zionist cheer and agree with this jewess:

The deaths of millions is worth it to punish the Iranians for electing presidents and a legislature and worth it to punish Palestinians for wanting to return home, worth it for a communist leader to remain in power and having nukes to prevent the Libyan model of regime change from happening to NK. Turkey has been vilified by the zionists for electing a "dictator" Erdogan who did the "radical" thing in making the President of Turkey have more powers similar to the limits the president had in the states in the 1700s. So sanctions on Turkey could be next for the nato ally. Sanctions for Pakistan and Iraq for trading with Iran. Sanctions for anyone who likes Venezuela. Sanctions for buying arms from Washington's arms competitor Russia.

But everyone should know the zionist trolls are evil and heartless. They only care you buy their propaganda and eat their sh*t.

UN already rejected that claim. It was made by an American citizen who was part of a task force.

Don’t believe Western BS. According to them, Iraq had WMD, Iran is planning to invade Israel, and Afghanistan had no girls schools (despite Taliban building hundreds.)

 

[帅的一匹]

LOL.

China is shielding Myanmar that has killed tens of thousands Rohingya Muslims and expelled 2 million from their native lands. You are just as guilty of murder if you help someone else do it

US, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam are anti-China.

Most of the rest of the world would side with US when it comes to a confrontation.

The only reliable supporter that China has is Pakistan.

Sorry but China will never be able to build a system of alliances and will forever be hemmed into East Asia.




Turkey and Indonesia have already spoken out.

BD should also do the same.

easy, the rest of you combine cant do anything to hurt China. Rohingyas is not our problem, and dont blame us. we have responsibility towards Uyghers, not rohingyas.

UN already rejected that claim. It was made by an American citizen who was part of a task force.

Don’t believe Western BS. According to them, Iraq had WMD, Iran is planning to invade Israel, and Afghanistan had no girls schools (despite Taliban building hundreds.)

those Americans making up lies will go to hell for sure.
