We're not going to bury the lead on this one. This isn't clickbait. It's not hyperbole.
There's a genocide happening in China. The government in Beijing is behind it, and consider this a warning. The following video contains descriptions of war crimes, genocide, torture, sexual assault on a scale that's difficult to imagine in the 21st century, because this is the genocide the world forgot, the Uyghurs.
The Uyghurs are a predominantly Turkic ethnic group of Central Asian descent. They are Sunni Muslims, one of the larger Islamic minorities in China, and one of the few recognized minorities by the Chinese state. There are between 10 and 12 million Uyghurs living in their native Xinjiang region.
