SUMMARY:China's Cultural Genocide Against the Uyghurs
DESCRIPTION:Luncheon Discussion on US China Relations and Human Rights\n\nA Luncheon Discussion on\nUS-China Relations and Human Rights\n\nThe National Interest Foundation is pleased to invite you to attend our luncheon discussion where expert Omer Kanat will tackle the issue of Uyghur Muslims and the Xinjang “education” camps. Pervasive ethnic discrimination\, severe religious repression\, and increasing cultural suppression justified by the government in the name of the “fight against separatism\, religious extremism\, and terrorism” continue to fuel rising tensions in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR). Xinjiang’s mass indoctrination centers are expected to be an area of focus during a major United Nations Human Rights Council review of China this month. \nOccurring this month as well\, in a possible sign of resolving the trade dispute between the US and China\, the U.S. State Department said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo\, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis\, Chinese politburo member Yang Jiechi and Defense Minister Wei Fenghe will take part in diplomatic and security talks. Mattis and Wei discussed that the world’s two largest economies need to deepen high-level ties to reduce the risk of conflict.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOmer Kanat is the chairman of the Executive Committee of the World Uyghur Congress. He co-founded the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) in 2003\, as well as the World Uyghur Youth Congress\, where he served as president from 1996-2000. Mr. Kanat was the Senior Editor of Radio Free Asia’s Uyghur Service\, where he covered the War in Afghanistan & Iraq\, edited Uyghur-language news\, and conducted interviews with prominent figures in Inner Asia\, including his holiness the Dalai Lama.
