Americans see news reports about the plight of Uyghurs. They are told these Muslims living in the western China province of Xinjiang are abused by the ruling Han Chinese and over a million are imprisoned in camps where they are forced to perform slave labor. As a result, China must be constantly denounced for this abuse and sanctions imposed on any Chinese business exploiting this slave labor. This is false and based on lies promoted by the American CIA.
Note: We are told to pronounce Uyghur as “WEE-gur” even though it has no W. In the province of Xinjiang and in their language it is pronounced “OO-gur” and should be in English since it starts with a U! So I adopted Dr. de Zayas’ correct pronunciation to reject whoever decided we should call them something weird in English.

G2mil,
Agree with you totally here. However, it is pronounced ‘oi-ger’, like toy, without the T. The province is pronounced Sin-Jiang. X in Chinese is spoken like an S, and Jiang is a quick ‘i’ and J like jumper, A almost like a U. Sin-Ji-ung.
Just to help out. I’ve traveled and lived in China, and have been to XinJiang. Both cultures inter marry and live happy side by side.
