At a time when the world media, including a part of the Russian media that has retained its humanity, are trying to draw attention to the tragedy of the Uyghur people who have fallen under the wheels of the Chinese communist machine, Russian state television has decided to defend… yes, you guessed it right — Chinese politicians. With open apologetics for the Chinese camps for Uighur Muslims, it was none other than the «Goebbels of the Kremlin» — Dmitry Kiselyov https://youtu.be/OUzA2bYaNs0.
In a specially filmed report on this issue, his subordinates decided to expose the «anti-Chinese propaganda» of the Western media and praise the «effective measures of the Chinese authorities» to counter «radicalism and extremism» among the Uyghurs.
On the whole, anyone who knows Beijing’s official position on this issue is familiar with the Chinese fairy tale that Kiselyov TV has reproduced. It turned out that the Uyghurs were being influenced by Islamists, so the country’s leadership had to counter extremism by mass re-education of unconscious Uyghurs. But this only worked to their advantage — in the «education centers» where they are all sent, they learn trades for a new life, learn to play chess and dance, and come out re-educated and happy. Meanwhile, behind the walls of these camps, they are waiting for a dynamically developing region where Uyghur culture thrives, where there are mosques, and where nothing prevents them from being Uyghurs or Muslims.
All this was told perfectly by Olzi Jasekhi — an Albanian journalist with anti-Western views, who traveled to Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) at the invitation of the Chinese government to expose the «Western fakes» about the oppression of Uyghurs, just as the employees of Kiselyov TV did https://golosislama.com/news.php?id=37094. At first, he repeated all these Communist-Chinese fables in his first reports, but when he delved deeper into the issue on the ground, he opened his eyes and was shocked by the truth.
But what happened to the Albanian journalist can be explained only by one thing — he has a conscience — a quality that is unacceptable for an employee of Kiselyov TV. That’s why in the first case a shocking truth was revealed after a visit to XUAR at the invitation of Beijing, while in the second case it was a no less shocking lie and propaganda of a system of mass forced reprogramming of people, not only Uyghurs, as anyone could end up in their place tomorrow, for example, Russian youth found guilty of «radicalization» for participating in protests against the current regime.
Another aspect should be emphasized: the fact that the Uyghurs who ended up in the camps were hostile to their Chinese neighbors is being played up, as if it were xenophobia against ordinary compatriots of a different nationality and culture. However, Russians, to whom this story is primarily addressed, can easily understand the nature of this «xenophobia». It is enough to imagine that Nazi Germany conquered Russia, and year after year new German settlers established their rule in Russian cities, as is happening in East Turkestan, which has been annexed by China. In such a situation, would the «hostility» of the Russians toward their German «neighbors» be considered an expression of «extremism» and «xenophobia,» and would curing it require sending them to camps, or would it be a natural self-defensive reaction of the occupied people?
Finally, it is worth noting that such inhumane reports should be perceived in the same way as reports after the fall of Nazi Germany that presented the Nazi death camps for Jews as sanatoriums. This applies not only to their creator — Kiselyov, who already bears the stigma, but also to the direct executors, such as the author of this report, Alexander Balitsky. No, we certainly do not advocate physical punishment of him, threats against him, etc. However, there are such concepts as «not shaking hands» and «wolf’s ticket», and those actions that should be punished by them without any statute of limitations exist in a normal society, which may one day appear in Russia after the era of cynical government lies.
