At this point, one may wish to ask when "drip drip drip" becomes a gusher. Surely, once we're up to three or four anti-China features per week, we're well on our way.
The latest iteration is served up by Canada's national newspaper of record this morning, under the front-page banner headline, "China Removes Uyghurs To Destroy Culture." Yup, it's the old genocide bugbear again!
Turns out intrepid China basher Nathan Vanderklippe hasn't actually committed any fresh journalism to produce this expose. Instead, the appearance of this story today is occasioned by a "research paper" released yesterday by Adrian Zenz of the Victims of Communism Foundation. That's another one of those amazing "Non-Government Organizations" created and funded by the US government! Zenz himself is an "Evangelical Christian" who claims to be on a God-given mission to defeat communism.
The actual "mistreatment" inflicted on the Uyghur minority would seem to be a thing of envy for many persecuted minorities around the world; they are "forced" (i.e. given free transport) to travel to areas of the country experiencing labour shortages, then provided guaranteed jobs, housing, and childcare. When Canadians are forced to up sticks and relocate cross country for better opportunities, they're on their own, as tens of thousands of displaced Maritimers can attest.
No matter! It's China we're talking about, and China's been on Uncle Sam's naughty list ever since Obama announced the "pivot to Asia." For the architects of American Exceptionalism in the beltway, fanning the flames of whatever nascent separatist tendencies exist in Xinjiang looks like a winning formula.
That Canada's premier newspaper so shamelessly parrots made-in-USA anti-China propaganda should give us pause. The long term goal of US strategy is the overthrow of the CCP and the disintegration of the PRC. This cannot and will not happen, and we as Canadians would be well advised to distance ourselves from this latest American obsession before it becomes a bloodbath.
