China Rebukes Critics of Thailand's Uyghur Repatriation Decision

In a robust defence of recent diplomatic actions, China has fervently criticised countries that raised concerns over Thailand's decision to repatriate 40 Uyghur individuals back to China. The Chinese embassy in Thailand called the repatriation a routine collaboration between sovereign states dealing with illegal immigration and accused critics of employing a "double standard."

 

The controversy began when Thailand repatriated members of the beleaguered Uyghur community at China's behest, sparking a global reaction. The embassy clarified via a Facebook statement that these individuals were not asylum seekers but illegal migrants who had entered Thailand unlawfully.

 

The Chinese embassy emphasised that the action was a standard procedure between two nations in enforcing their respective immigration laws. It referenced similar practices by other countries, implicitly pointing towards the United States, which reportedly repatriated over 270,000 illegal migrants in fiscal 2024.

 

The statement accused critical nations of hypocrisy, highlighting that those countries follow the same immigration principles yet manipulate international organisations to censure Sino-Thai cooperation on immigration issues. This, China claimed, undermines international relations principles and infringes on the sovereignty of the countries involved.

China reassured that those repatriated would be reunited with their families and given opportunities to integrate smoothly back into society through jobs and skill-building initiatives. The embassy portrayed this as part of China's commitment to the Convention against Torture, promising humane treatment for all individuals.

 

The embassy also accused terrorist factions of stirring unrest in Xinjiang, claiming these groups exploited locals into anti-China activities abroad. China took a firm stance against these groups, and according to their reports, Xinjiang has seen no terrorist incidents since late 2016.

 

Furthermore, the statement lambasted foreign powers and anti-China entities for allegedly spreading falsehoods about Xinjiang’s conditions, citing these efforts as underhanded attempts to destabilise China's growth under the guise of human rights advocacy.

 

To counter these narratives, China invited Thai authorities and international visitors from impartial nations to Xinjiang, promising a first-hand experience of its claimed socio-economic harmony and religious freedom.

 

The ongoing dialogue about the Uyghur community has highlighted complex international relations, as human rights organisations continue to report severe abuses within Xinjiang’s re-education camps, allegations that China staunchly denies. The recent response from the Chinese embassy underscores the sensitivity and significance of this issue on the international stage, reported Bangkok Post.

Its genocide. Thailand is complicit

[daveAustin]

Well it would do, wouldn’t it. Up to a country who it wants within its borders, but when China has any input you know it is for bad/corrupt/evil<insert other dodgy adjective> reasons. Yuck!

China was probably hoping that more than 5 would die in the inhumane conditions.

In other words they'll be sent to a "re-education" camp where the rest of their families are and never to be seen again.

Did any nations in the International community step up and offer to take them in?  No.  End of story.

While it is true that many other countries do practice similar types of repatriation, there are very few countries that harvest the organs of those who have been returned, or lock them up in very harsh concentration camp type conditions. The very heinous CCP is quite unique in that regard, they kind of set the standard for mistreatment of those that don't tow the party line, and those that don't believe in the Han traditions and homogenous way of life.

Who's next Thailand? Christians? Jews? Father's simply trying to seen their own child? C$#@$

China is a country of terror and persecution of national minorities.They do the same as in NORTH KOREA. They will severely torture and murder with particular cruelty the UYGHURS an their families.Thailand supports terrorism and persecution.

[Purdey]

I saw that some Thai people went back with those repatriated and reported everything was fine. Who knows a there wasn't much evidence. 

[Thingamabob]

They have been shown in front of the cameras being reunited with their families. I wonder how long it will be before they are re-arrested, never to be seen again. Shame on you Thailand.
