Thailand Deports Uyghurs Despite International Asylum Offers

The root of the problem is that the Uyghurs want their independence, and take XianJiang province away with them in doing so.  They have resorted to bombings and other acts of violence. The latest rounds of that was before covid, when the Uyghurs went on a rampage in XianJiang, and indiscriminately killed around 200 Han Chinese in the streets. That's what set off the latest round of violence and crackdown by China.

 

Naturally China isn't so keen on losing territory. They don't give a hoot if all the Uyghurs emigrate away permanently, in fact they welcome it, it just means fewer trouble makers. The Uyghurs that aren't allowed to leave China are the ones who have committed violent crimes (or suspected of doing so). You can't set off a bomb, and then skip the country to avoid prosecution, is that so difficult to understand?

 

This narrative that western MSM (and you) is pushing that China is persecuting Uyghurs just for being Uyghurs doesn't even pass the smell test.  What exactly is the logic in that? China is persecuting Uyghurs from being different? There are lots of minorities in China, those who don't seek to carve out a chunk of the country have nothing to fear. In fact they have more rights than the Han Chinese.

You've already claimed these specific Uighurs were criminals and terrorists, and offered no proof of such, and now are claiming simply that any Uighur is a dangerous separatist, any without proof or logic.  And by your claim if these Uighurs HAD committed crimes/acts of terror "they aren't allowed to leave the country."  Ergo, these specific Uighurs did not commit crimes.  But we knew that already, didn't we?

 

Here's the irony -- you're claiming "Uighurs aren't being persecuted for being Uighurs" and yet what you're saying EXACTLY THAT -- that because they are Uighurs, these people are guilty of separatism, crime and violence.  So, I'm not "pushing a western MSM narrative".  I'm saying other things, though -- that Thailand has a responsibility to investigate the claims of these people of persecution -- of which there IS evidence generally speaking.  Thailand didn't.  They sent them back at the CCP's demand, because they are an embarrassment to the CCP, who pushes the narrative that somehow they are simultaneously terrorists and privileged beyond Han Chinese.  And you somehow not only believe it, you're willing to shill for it to others.

 

Strange that people who have more rights than the dominant Han would rather live in IDC than China.  All just part of the conspiracy against poor, misunderstood China, right?
