The Chinese government is engaging in human rights abuses comparable to Nazi Germany.
People in concentration camps are being executed, so their organs can be sold for profit. It's incredibly disturbing regardless but the individuals are usually ethnic or religious minorities.

Here’s what one Kazakh woman witnessed below China’s Uyghur concentration camps.
“I’m going to talk about something that I haven’t talked about to anyone,” she told investigator Ethan Gutmann.
“Samal” worked at a series of medical clinics or labs four stories below a camp in Xinjiang. Two masked guards with AKs kept watch.
In the first clinic, her job was to remove intestines.
“The other three clinics were there to remove organs. You couldn't see them, but occasionally the door would open. You'd see somebody handling a kidney, a liver and so forth.
Every day that she worked there, there'd be eight or nine bodies. Sometimes it was as many as 20.”
“Almost always young.”

In a trial that could be the latest bellwether for growing Chinese influence in Kazakhstan, 19 activists who organized demonstrations against China's mass internment camps in Xinjiang are expected to be sentenced by a Kazakh court. trib.al/hi4HHYV

Self claimed Chinese journalist in East Turkistan, was seen photographing and filming Uyghur children. In the video, he tells them: “I came from Xiamen, it is across from Taiwan province.” That is how used to influence and shape the thinking of young children

Professor John Mearsheimer:
Israel has become an albatross around America’s neck.
A great power should not allow a minor power to shape its grand strategy.
It just goes to show you how enormously powerful the lobby is.
When you look at this conflict, it is seriously eroding our capability to contain China in East Asia. We’re pulling THAADs and Patriots out of South Korea and Japan. This is truly remarkable.
We have been shortchanging East Asia.
We have been shortchanging our containment policy in East Asia for quite a while now because of Israel, and the situation is now only getting worse.

BREAKING:
China has been reading the private communications of 3 British Prime Ministers for 4 years.
Boris Johnson.
Liz Truss.
Rishi Sunak.
Their closest aides. Their most sensitive calls. Their text messages.
Also compromised:
Donald Trump.
JD Vance.
US Congressional intelligence committees.
This is not a rumor.
The Telegraph broke it yesterday.
The US Treasury sanctioned the Chinese companies responsible.
13 nations issued a joint advisory.
But here's the part that should terrify you:
Western governments BUILT the backdoors China walked through.
They are called "lawful intercept" systems.
Every phone carrier is required by law to include them.
"So we can wiretap criminals," they said.
China found them. Used them. For years.
They didn't just read messages.
They accessed the FBI's database of active wiretaps.
They could see which Chinese spies America was watching.
And warn them.
The surveillance state got surveilled.
US officials now admit:
"We cannot say with certainty the hackers have been evicted."
Some networks compromised for 3 years.
The malware lives in the hardware itself.
It can't be patched.
It has to be physically replaced.
This is the biggest Western intelligence breach since the Cold War.
And most people have no idea it happened.
Now you do.
