Chinese Army in HK clearing roadblocks. Bit by bit they're moving in.

Oh and comes to mind Karl Marx, 19th century, I wonder what he would think of what the Chinese are are up to? Workers of the world unite, as long as you all got the same DNA and pure cultural history....

They are just ruthlessly and brutally trying to avoid what is threatening to happen right now in Colombia, and to have it be a success unlike former Yugoslavia when the dictator holding it all together fell.

The only experiment that worked better is the one our Founding Fathers cooked up in the 18th century, dreaming that everyone could tolerate each other under one roof if you just went by a basic agreed secular creed

This is why I don't cotton to current political correctness fad of bashing of them. Were they the elite of the time with major sins and some nasty beliefs and willing to settle? You betcha. The elite were the only ones who could have done it. They did that when a huge number of citizens were still illiterate and worried about witchcraft. Did they solve the class problem? Nope, they were the elite and had just started thinking a new way: don't need no ethnic nation state, people can think for themselves, be different from each other, and still tolerate each other.

Chinese still think DNA is everything. Just an upside down version of Britannia (or Spain) rules the others, with the commoners with the right DNA at the top of the pyramid. (Brexiteers currently pandering to that whole thing.)

China has detained up to a million Muslims, a campaign it calls a benevolent and routine effort against the pull of extremism. But 403 pages of Communist Party documents we obtained reveal how officials plotted to carry out a ruthless, coercive clampdown. https://t.co/s6Sa2GenA3

As if on cue:

China is deploying students as watchdogs against teachers, to keep tabs on their ideological views. It’s part of a campaign by President Xi to eliminate dissent. https://t.co/8bd1nOcS1T

Uglier version:

1. Throw Uyghur father in concentration camp. 2. Send Han party member to “pair up and become family” with Uyghur mother and kids. 3. Have Han man sleep in same bed as Uyghur woman. 4. Another victory in war against separatism. #CCPdoitdeseigneur https://t.co/Xj9hzmAGG2

More like the Nazi movies of Jews and gypsies living the good life at concentration camps as part of normalisation propaganda.

BTW, discovered Milos Forman (Amadeus, Cuckoo's Nest) lost both parents to Auschwitz as a tyke, even tho not Jewish.

Never again? After the Killing Fields and this in Xinjiang, seems like a periodic revival.
