Since its founding, the Chinese Communist Party have detained millions of its own citizens and sent them to facilities to be re-educated in the ways  of advancing the communist agenda. In recent years, approximately 1 million Chinese Uighurs in the Xinjiang province have been detained in modern day concentration camps for the crime of practicing their Islamic faith.

 

My guest today is Olivia Enos, senior policy analyst at the Asian Studies Center at the Heritage Foundation.

 

On today’s show, we’re going to discuss what the Chinese Communist Party is doing with the Uighurs, how badly they’re being treated, and what outside powers can do to put an end to it.
