Also concentration camps.<p>But no one has pulled out of China. Companies still seem to be falling over themselves to help. Personally my feeling is that any engineer working on software or hardware to support this kind of effort should be considered a party to it, and so be subject to international law. Especially in the US and Europe where there is no “I was afraid for my life” justification.
Let's not sugar coat this, the CCP is engaging in systematic ethnic cleansing. They are trying Cultural Revolution style reeducation and surveillance first, but who knows how many will die in the camps.<p>This level of repression makes Northern Ireland look like a tea party. If it weren't that Xinjiang is so poor I'd think it inevitable that there would be armed resistance -- without a crop like opium the Taliban wouldn't have IEDs or guns.<p>The CCP is mad to think they can erase Islam by forcing the locals to eat pork and taking away their children.

1 million Uighurs = statistic. no media fallout or talk of not taking Chinese money or buying chinese goods or talks of companies not taking Chinese investment.<p>sad.
Basically, they send tons of people to islamic villages, with intention to push non-islamic values to locals. That includes systematic surveillance and "government watches" threats too.
