China Uses Rape as Torture Tactic Against Uighur Detainees, Victims Say

China knows that demographics are destiny.

The US would have never become a country if had tried to politically annex the native american nations one by one.

But by conquering and breeding out the native american tribes, the burgeoning US was able to replace those people with loyal colonists.

China is doing the same thing in Tibet, Mongolia, Xinjiang, etc. Just send in Han colonists en masse, and breed out the locals until you have a loyal majority.

Xinjiang was officially annexed into the PRC 70 years ago, so this has always been looming on the horizon. In the Al Qaeda / ISIS era, when Muslim terrorism was a big thing worldwide and there was a dream of a global Caliphate, the Uyghurs got a little too enthusiastic, which attracted the wrong kind of attention from the PRC government. Decades of 'salutary neglect' have now been replaced with an urgency to solve the disruption to national harmony.
