"No Uyghur Genocide" -- Australia and Turkey. Huge Blow to the USA.
Three years of U.S. campaign down the drain
Gore Vidal used to describe America as the “United States of Amnesia.” He wasn’t kidding. After the endless lies and atrocity propaganda about Saddam Hussein that were used to launch a $6 trillion wasteful war, one would have thought that Americans wouldn’t fall for cartoonish propaganda anymore. Alas, that would be asking too much.
In a desperate attempt to “contain” China and force it to abandon its wildly successful industrial socialism, the U.S. went on a propaganda rampage for three years that included funding of Hong Kong riots and Uyghur separatism. However, China has quietly and skillfully eliminated both subversive schemes. It’s no wonder that silly AOC was giving a speech about Tibetan freedom last week. That’s the last futile piece of the American foreign policy.
How many billions of dollars, millions of words, and thousands of TV hours did the U.S. waste on the fictitious and recycled narratives of concentration camps, forced sterilization, cultural genocide, demographic genocide, systematic rapes and other wild conspiracy theories?
Now the whole world is rejecting all these absurd lies. First, the Australian parliament rejected the claim of Uyghur genocide. The Aussies had their heads way up Trump’s you-know-what. They were the first ones to ban Huawei; then they wanted the UN to investigate the origin of the coronavirus and see if it came from the Wuhan lab; and they are the most enthusiastic partner in the QUAD — the four-member quixotic team of Japan, India, and Australia led by the U.S. to contain China. Given all this, one would think that the Sinophobic Aussies would have easily passed the “Uyghur genocide” bill. After all, the fake “independent” Australian group A.S.P.I — that is funded by the U.S. government and U.S. military contractors such as Lockheed Martin — was churning out hundreds of satellite photos and screaming that they were all concentration camps in Chyyna. (They turned out to be schools, apartment complexes, nursing homes etc., which all have fences and look ominous in a satellite photo).
Next to reject the U.S. propaganda was Turkey, the Godfather of Uyghur separatists. Tens of thousands of Uyghur separatists and terrorists live in Turkey. The terrorists have a group called TIP (Turkestan Islamic Party) that has been fighting and training in Syria for the last nine years. Uyghurs are “Turkic” people; and the separatists even call their dream country, “Turkestan.” Needless to say, Turkey’s rejection of “Uyghur genocide” is a terrible blow to Uyghur separatists.
The only two silly countries that virtue-signaled about the Uyghur issue were Canada and the Netherlands, both of which passed non-binding resolutions. Totally gutless. Furthermore, Prime Ministers of both these countries rejected the bills.
After Australia and Turkey, it’s likely that no other country would touch “Uyghur persecution/genocide” again. Every single Muslim country supports China’s Xinjiang policies, which are about rehabilitation of extremists, poverty eradication, vocational schools for the unskilled and so on. (If China had been more transparent, it could have avoided all this drama).
Over the last weekend, 63 countries expressed support for China regarding Hong Kong and Xinjiang. They said that these are China’s internal matters and other countries — wink, wink, the U.S. — should stay out.
China is not Iraq or Libya. The West cannot make up fake stories and start sanctions and wars. China has lots of money and diplomatic clout. It’s a $15 trillion economy and the #1 trade partner for 130+ countries. Chinese are also supplying COVID-19 vaccines to 50+ countries. On the other hand, the U.S. has only two things to offer — weapons and fake, sanctimonious speeches about human rights.
Just like Joshua Wong, the Uyghur separatists will soon be discarded by the U.S. establishment.
The U.S. perpetually whines about China, only revealing deep American insecurity. Wasting time on atrocity propaganda is embarrassing. It’s like a virgin guy who spreads rumors about a “chad” dude.
Biden has been disappointing so far. Perhaps his hands are tied by the intense anti-China sentiment in the country. But great leaders don’t just follow public opinions; instead they shape opinions and lead the country towards a better future, even if the path is arduous.
What America needs is a profound change in attitude — forget about demonizing China (or Russia, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea etc.) and work on improving the USA.
Australia realized how idiotic they would look promoting baseless allegations unsupported by basic math. Uighur population is 11-12 and if 1-3M were being imprisoned, that would be almost 50% of adult Uighur(children+elderly=6-7M).
US efforts to contain China are nothing more than misguided notions of 'American exceptionalism' rooted in white supremacy.
