Citizen journalist Fang Bin is purportedly being held in a local prison center for undisclosed accusations two years after being kidnapped by Chinese officials for reporting COVID-19 fatalities in Wuhan, according to a volunteer. Authorities, on the other hand, refuse to confirm his whereabouts.

United Nations Urged to Report on Uyghurs Before Beijing Winter Olympics.

The Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), a bipartisan group of US senators, is urging the UN’s human rights office to provide its evaluation of the persecuted Uyghur ethnic group in China’s Xinjiang area before the 2022 Winter Olympics. In a letter to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, chair and co-chair of the CECC, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) wrote, “Doing so would provide a global public service as the international community’s attention turns to China while it hosts this international spectacle.” “It would also reaffirm the fact that no country is beyond scrutiny or above international law.” The Chinese regime is conducting genocide against Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, according to several Western nations, notably the United States, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. More than a million Uyghurs are being…

Ex-Xinjiang Commander Promoted by Xi to Terrorize Hong Kong.

Peng Jingtang, a Xinjiang paramilitary officer, was nominated by China’s dictator Xi Jinping to lead Chinese forces in Hong Kong on January 9. Peng oversaw the Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown in Xinjiang, where a genocide has been occurring for years. From 2018 to 2019, Major General Peng served as the regional chief of staff of the People’s Armed Police (PAP). He also served as the PAP’s overall deputy chief of staff. The PAP is primarily responsible for countering riots and protests. Peng, on the other hand, headed “counterterrorism” efforts in Xinjiang, where the only terrorism is that imposed by the CCP. The CCP in Xinjiang uses Uyghur terrorism as an excuse to impose Han bigotry on the region through a network of concentration camps, “reeducation” centers, and factories where forced laborers are subjected to slave-like conditions such as torture, rape, mass…

Walmart Boycotting Xinjiang Sourced Products Resulted in Backlash From CCDI.

Walmart Inc.’s decision to maintain a customer boycott on Xinjiang-sourced items from its Sam’s Club online app has angered the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI). The decision by the American retailer to exclude items from the far-western Chinese region of Xinjiang from its online app has sparked outrage in China. According to Reuters, China’s anti-graft bureau was outraged by the boycott, accusing Walmart Inc. of “stupidity and short-sightedness.” The CCP’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also accused the mega-corporation of attempting to “muddle through” the controversy by neglecting to reply to concerns or issue a comment. “To take down all products from a region without a valid reason hides an ulterior motive, reveals stupidity and short-sightedness, and will surely have its own bad consequences,” the CCP’s anti-corruption office warned on its website, as if threatening the American corperation.…
