Leaked Chinese report suggests it is forcing Uighurs to take jobs thousands of miles away to change the demographics of their homeland
A leaked report for Chinese officials suggests Beijing is offering Uighurs jobs thousands of miles from their homeland, and pressuring them to accept, in an attempt to erode their personal and regional identity.
Since 2016, China has detained some one million Uighurs in their homeland of Xinjiang in
hundreds of prison camps across the region. China claims the Uighurs are a terror threat, and is accused of brainwashing Uighurs and trying to slash birthrates, prompting
the US and
Canada to accuse Beijing of genocide.
China's crackdown has been characterized by
forced abortions and sterilizations,
rape,
arbitrary arrests,
forced labor, and relentless
surveillance.
But in a new revelation, Beijing appears to be actively working to remove Uighurs from their homeland and force them to assimilate into Chinese culture by sending them to work far across the country as part of a job-transfer scheme, according to a May 2018 report by Nankai University and circulated among senior Chinese officials.
A Chinese report obtained by the BBC shows Uighurs were given job-transfer schemes to "meld" them into mainstream society.
