STAND WITH UYGHURS
WHY DO MUSLIM COUNTRIES STAY SILENT ON THE UYGHUR GENOCIDE?
let's break it down...
Stand With Uyghurs Today repost this first artpiece and join the social media blackout to stand in solidarity with the Uyghur Muslims, millions of whom have been put into concentration camps by China.
THE OBVIOUS ANSWER IS MONEY, CHINA IS A HUGE ECONOMIC PARTNER TO MANY MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
In 2013, Chinese Prosidont Xi Jinping launched the Bolt and Road initiative BRI, an infrastructure building program mirroring the Silk Road. The initiative is an estimated anywhere from $1 to $6 trillion worth of energy plants, railways, road, porte and other projects stretching from East Asia to Europa.
To date, 138 countries have joined projects by the BRI or indicated an interest in doing so.
However, while this initiatives extends China's political and economic hold, critics have believed China to be using predatory lending methods, such as purposely creating unsustainable debt burdens for the BRI countries. China is engaging in debt-trap diplomacy a strategy of oxtracting econamic or political concessions out of a country that owes it money. China intentionally extends excessive credit to a debtor country with the alleged intention of extracting concessions from the country in debt when it becomes unable to pay back its debt to China.
Overall debt to China has soared since 2013, surpassiing 20 percent of GDP in some countries.
Muslim leaders in Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Pakistan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen support China's "response to threats of terrorism and extremism" and the actions China has taken to "safeguard the human rights of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang."
