In 1949 China add some territory to their country, in which they used to lived an ethnic group called the Uighurs, China put the name of Xinjiang to this province that means "new territory". But now with pass of the time China has tried to do an ethnic cleasing and assimilition in that province by openig what they called vocational centers; they get a bunch of people they think may be a problem in the future because of their athnic or her acts and put them into the vocational centers and they don't allow them to go until some years later. The real problem here is that this people is taken from their family by force to this centers only for her ethnic decendence making this an ethnical conflict.

Uighurs , which live in east of China, Xinjiang, are continuely harassed by China threatening their idiosyncrasies, traditions, culture, etc. "The Chinese authorities are committing crimes against humanity since late 2016, when the newly appointed CCP Secretary for the Uyghur Region, Chen Quanguo, introduced not only a system of total surveillance in both the public and the private sphere but also established different kinds of political indoctrination camps all over East Turkistan, numbering in the thousands. Numerous mysterious deaths and widespread reports of torture accompanied the inception of these so-called “vocational training facilities”." (World Uighur Congress, 2020)

Ulighurs are an ethnic muslim living in China in a Autonomous region called Xinjiang.
This ethnical problem arises when the Chinese government decides to detain a large number of members of this muslim region for re-education camps.

The right to worship or religion(article 18); China violated this right when in totalitarian way tries to eliminate in a part of the population its religion with methods like taking people to concentration camps to change their ideas.

A right violated it's freedom of expression, because on article 19 of the Universal Declaration of the Human rights says that "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

China is the worst country in the world for human rights (Introvigne, 2019) and a powerful country who wants to control every single person who live in China. The Xinjang's government discussed about "Transformation through education camps" for Uighurs and Muslims with their autonomous religion. This is a clearly example of official repression of the freedoms of speech, religion, movement and association.

Ulighurs are an ethnic muslim group located in an autonomous region in China.
The situation is that the authorities in China believe that all muslim related religions are linked to violent actions and terrorism. Of course this isn't true, but its how China thinks, and right now they have created what they call "schools", to literally erase their thoughts, helding them against their liberty and abusing of them just because of their religion.
It's a total human rights violation, and it has no excuse.

In 2019, the Chines Communist Party (CCP) headed by Xi Jinping continued to make strong efforts to implement the new Regulations on Religious Affairs, throughout the country and to accelerate the "Sanitization" of religion, and promote the demise of religion and to establish China as a zone of atheism.

a01412123 — 2020-09-23 14:44:33 UTC

We can not force China into doing something but we can influence them, by starting from not taking products from them, make less alliances with them (In case that a State doesn't want to participate, what we can do is show them all proof we have against China).

Also we know that every State wants to have a good reputation, but these kinds of situations won't benefit China (or other States while knowing the situation , because it would make them look bad keeping alliances with a State that's being oppressive, uses Dominance against non-State actors, and having strong feelings of Islamophobia and Xenophobia , they are obviously violating Human Rights).

So if we do that, China would think more about solving the problem and having peace if they don't want to lose all their alliances with others.

a01412129 — 2020-09-23 14:46:08 UTC

To convince the allies of China, Russia, North Korea and African countries not to make mistakes of the past, put a stop to the bad actions of China. Offer better deals away from China, until they change the way they act.

Uighurs are a predominantly Muslim and Turkic-speaking ethnic group primarily from Xinjiang, in northwestern China. Even though they make up a big percentage of the region's population, they have been supressed, restrained, and discrimined against by China's conservative authorities, out of xenophobia and islamophobia. They are forced to be practically brainwashed inside so-called "schools" and they're not allowed to communicate with the outside world, even their relatives.

Who are the Uighurs?
They're ethnically Turkic Muslims, and there are about 11 million of them in western China. They live in Xinjiang It's in the far west of China, as an autonomous area, it - in theory at least - has a degree of self-governance away from Beijing. Uighur Muslims make up under half the region's roughly 26 million people. Human Rights says Uighur people in particular are subject to intense surveillance and punishments. Rights groups say people in camps are made to learn Mandarin Chinese and criticise or renounce their faith.

China has proved that identity is not the best resource to stop their cruel actions. They have a lot of power and world wide recognition. We should stop contributing to their big corporations' growth and other things that benefit their government, the ones that allow and help these discriminatory practices expand.

To start with, there is a forcible internment program, under which an estimated million Uighurs have been indefinitely detained without due process of law. In August, the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERC) condemned these internment camps as a “no rights zone,” and a recent Human Rights Watch report details pervasive abuse, including forcible sleep deprivation, beatings, and people being hung from ceilings and walls. Former detainees describe being forced to renounce their religious beliefs or consume alcohol and meat, thereby violating their religious practices.
