The seeds of another Holocaust might be brewing over in China, where the government is engaging in a campaign to sterilize members of the Uyghur ethnic group (most of whom are Muslims), and to take anyone who shows a small degree of interest in their culture to concentration camps where they can be “re-educated”.

No reports yet of systematic extermination (apart from the usual claims of organ harvesting, whose validity I am not in a position to judge). But of course the Nazis didn’t start off that way either. Let’s pray they don’t take it any further.
As a sign of the utter foolishness of the United Nations general assembly, where each nation gets one vote, more than twice as many nations (54) have officially come out so far in support this cultural genocide, than oppose it (22). Although it’s not suprising that the big human rights violators would all stick up for each other. (Doesn’t really matter anyway, as China also has a security council veto.)
I don’t have any particularly useful suggestions about what can be done to try to stop this atrocity. But people of good will should probably be aware that it is happening.
