Comment: What lies beyond China's crushing of the Uighurs

Gulmire Zunun had been living in Australia for nine years and was looking forward to her father visiting from China. He was in his late 70s so he didn't want to delay.

But her dad was healthy and wanted to stay in his home. He explained that he had relatives who were happy to visit to give him any care he might need in future. To no avail. He disappeared into a so-called aged care facility where no visitors were allowed.He was released after two years, near death. Zunun Niyazi died 20 days later, on August 26. "People are released before they die so they don't become statistics in the camps," Gulmire explains.

She says that her father was locked up "as a way to send a message to us here in Australia", she tells me through an interpreter, her husband, Mehmet Celepci. But a Singaporean reporter who'd been on a "Potemkin Village" tour of one of the centres said that while the cover-up was impressive, tell-tale signs remained. "I noticed that the dormitory doors had no handles on the inside," she told me.

"From the outside looked like a taxi, but on the inside was nothing like one — there was no meter, no [payment system], no ID for the driver and no cameras,” she said. “The driver drove … very fast and did not stop at any checkpoint until he dropped me off at the hotel.”Beijing, it turned out, has set up a fake taxi service to disguise police cars.

The Chinese regime turning into barbarians with this Uighurs exposure. Where is the UN?

First China marched on Xinjiang ...then they marched on Rome , Greece..you name it they bought and squashed it . ...it’s called Xi gets even for centuries of humiliation ...a story as old as time.

What about Tibet?

Since when did Aus. media give a shit about muslims when they all cheered us into bombing three muslim nations, prop up murderous Israel, think bombing Libya was a good idea and so on.

Is it Winnie the Pooh?

'Shocking': MPs from across politics defend China critics Hastie and PatersonGreens leader Richard Di Natale has criticised Beijing's decision to bar the Liberal MPs from visiting on a study tour. Some things never fail to amaze. It is the arrogant believe that all speech is good, and our criticisms are always right that worries me.

Aus-China human rights partnership suspended | Sky News AustraliaA key human rights partnership between Australia and China has been quietly suspended, signalling worsening diplomatic ties with the Asian superpower.\n\nThere are growing concerns about Beijing's human rights record, including the mass detention of religious minorities. \n\nDespite Australia’s economic relationship with China, Foreign Minister Marise Payne has called out human rights abuses allegedly perpetrated by China. \n\nLiberal Senator James Paterson backed the foreign minister's resolve, saying “we can’t allow anyone to dictate what an Australian parliamentarian can and cannot say”. \n\nThe key human rights program has been in place for 20 years trying to advance human rights reform in China. The Asian Super power that claims to be a 'developing country', good riddance to them, hopefully they pack up their tents and toddle off. Ohnaw21 can't have a partnership when human rights don't exist in one of the countries

Liberal Senator 'surprised and disappointed' following China visa cancellation | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator James Paterson says he found it 'surprising and disappointing' following China's decision to cancel his visa before a planned visit to the country. \n\nChina is demanding Liberal MPs Andrew Hastie and James Paterson 'repent and redress their mistakes' if they want to visit Beijing. \n\nThe pair were due to travel to the country as part of a study tour, however on Friday it was revealed their visas had been cancelled. \n\nBoth MPs have publicly criticised China for recent human rights abuses, as well as perceived attempts to exert influence in Australia. \n\n“I’m an agnostic so repenting is not really my style,” Mr Paterson told Sky News Host Chris Kenny. \n\nBut I'm particularly not going to be repenting at the instruction or command of a foreign authoritarian power'. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Don't need to swim in the Sewer to know its SEWERAGE- He should thank them He's going over there to make a dick of himself, I don't support censorship but it's hardly surprising China has blocked this move. Study Tour...just a fancy name for a taxpayer funded holiday..Be better served to send the pair of them to the bushfire areas in NSW and QLD and let them learn to be volunteer firemen...Mind you that would require them to associate with actual workers and get their hands dirty.

China 'can do as they like' following MP visa cancellation | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Gemma Tognini says 'I was really quite surprised' by China's call for Liberal MPs to 'repent' before being allowed into the country. \n\nChina is demanding Liberal MPs Andrew Hastie and James Paterson 'repent and redress their mistakes' if they want to visit Beijing. \n\nThe pair were due to travel to the country as part of a study tour, however on Friday it was revealed their visas had been cancelled. \n\nBoth MPs have publicly criticised China for recent human rights abuses, as well as perceived attempts to exert influence in Australia. \n\nMs Tognini defend the Chinese government's ability to 'say whatever it likes and allow whoever it likes into its country'. \n\n'Let's not pretend the Australian government doesn't enjoy the same sovereignty,' she said. \n\nImage: Getty It just goes to show what a sick and twisted regime it really is. The people of Hong Kong know what they’re in for and Hastie’s treatment by China is actually farcical. Should be of no surprise based on many media reports over time of people and nations having to accept the way of the emperor and bow down in order to do business and interact with this great nation. The pope would be envious of the emperors power over the world. Obviously not enough brown paper bags with the Visa application.
