Andrei Felchik (1963-2020), a militant internationalist, investigative journalist, historian, filmmaker and novelist, was always a strong voice against Western imperialism, documenting with his pen and lens its crimes around the world from Peru to Indonesia and in the media, and published several essential reference books for understanding the modus operandi of US imperialism. Among them are “Exposing the lies of the empire” – 2015, “The fight against western imperialism” – 2014, “Indonesia: Archipelago of fear” – 2012, “Oceania: New imperialism, nuclear bombs and bones” – 2013, in addition from “Exile” – 2006, which include Interviews with Political Exiles from their Country and “On Western Terrorism from Hiroshima to the Drone Wars” – 2013, an in-depth discussion on Western tyranny and propaganda with Noam Chomsky. He also produced several documentaries on the Indonesian massacres from 1965 to 1966, “Chile Between Two Earthquakes” and the tragedy of two decades of Somali refugees in their largest camp in northern Kenya, as well as a film on the Rwandan massacres that contradicts the official version of the course of events there. He died last month, under suspicious and mysterious circumstances, while he was gathering material in Turkey for a book he was preparing on the subject of “Uyghurs” in China. Authorities have yet to announce any official results of their criminal investigation.

For some time now, I have been warning the world that the West, and the United States in particular, is helping to radicalize the Uighur minority in Xinjiang and beyond China. He has clearly drawn a map of the movement of Uighur extremists, through some countries, such as Indonesia, to Turkey, where they are then sent to war zones in northern Syria. I went to the Idlib region, met with local leaders there, and spoke extensively with displaced Syrians who have been the victims of the genocidal attacks carried out by the Uighurs against them.
Most of the Uyghurs are Muslims, their homeland is Xinjiang in northwest China, and they have their own distinct and ancient culture, and most of them, of course, are very kind and respectful people. The “Uyghur issue”, simply put, is that Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, is located on the main branch of the New Silk Road and Belt Initiative, a gigantic infrastructure project for economic and cultural communication. highly optimistic international that will connect billions of people on all continents in a way that will produce hundreds of millions of people living in poverty and backwardness.
Washington is very concerned that China will take the lead in building a brighter future for humanity, because the success of the Silk Road project may be the beginning of the end of Western imperialism and neocolonialism, leading to improve the conditions for real freedom and independence for many countries that are under the power of the American empire.
Therefore, it was imperative that the empire move to preserve the status quo and extend its hegemony over the world by adopting policies of hostility, threat and provocation to China, and distort its reputation by all means, and pose political and security difficulties. in several places simultaneously: Hong Kong, Taiwan, the South China Sea. And, of course, also the “Uighur question”, as the United States is working diligently to turn part of the constitutionally recognized Chinese national minority – the Uighurs – into a “wretched bunch”, or more precisely, into radical Islamic terrorists. .
Turkey, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, has offered the United States an important hand in this direction. Uighurs are transported with their families to Istanbul on Turkish passports through various recruiting and recruiting centers in Southeast Asia. Upon arrival in Istanbul, those passports are taken away from them, and many of those of fighting age are recruited and put through military and ideological training, then moved south to war-torn Syria, while smaller groups remain. in places like Indonesia and other places to join jihadist organizations there. And when the terrorist groups in Syria were almost completely defeated, some of these Uighurs were transferred to Afghanistan, according to my own research where I am preparing a book on the Uighur subject. It goes without saying that Afghanistan has a short but important border with China.
But why all this complicated process? The answer is simple: NATO / Washington / the West hopes that the Uighur jihadist fighters trained in the advanced army will finally return home to Xinjiang. There they will begin to fight for “independence” and, as they do so, they will tacitly sabotage the Silk Road project. In this way China is killed and its most powerful economic and cultural initiatives are disrupted.
The real purpose of manipulating the Uyghur issue is America’s fierce pursuit of hegemony.
Of course, the Chinese government is very concerned, as it is clear that the West has set a perfect trap for it: if China does nothing, it will end up facing a very serious military terrorist threat within its borders; Remember that the Soviet Union was dragged into Afghanistan and suffered great losses at the hands of the “Mujahideen” were trained, financed, armed and supported by the West, which has a long and extensive history of using Islam for its Machiavellian designs. On the other hand, if China does something preventive to protect itself, it will be attacked by Western countries and their colossal propaganda ecosystem. And this is exactly what is happening now. Everything ready, prepared with care.
On September 12, 2019, the US Senate passed the Uyghur Rights Policy Act, which requires sanctions against Chinese officials over Xinjiang camps, as well as introducing a bill urging the administration of the President Trump to ban the export of goods and services to Chinese state agents in Uyghur regions, as he described. Beijing has “prolonged interference in China’s internal affairs.” Perhaps the least that is said about this alleged bill of rights is a shameful practice of hypocrisy and intimidation.
Let’s not forget that the United States treats Muslims with absolute hatred. In fact, it prevents them from entering the country if they come from certain countries, and is arbitrarily bombing them in Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere, and carrying out targeted killings against them, without concern for civilian casualties, and torturing Muslim detainees and humiliating them even in their own countries.
In fact, Washington, by trying to spark the Uighur minority rebellion in China, is inflicting great harm on Uighurs themselves before others and on all residents of northwest China. Not only is it a political sin, but the United States is committing a total crime against humanity.
China is a multi-ethnic and multicultural country, and Islamic culture is part of the identity of the People’s Republic of China. I always suggest to those who discuss it with me to go to Xi’an (The City of Eternal Peace), one of the three ancient capitals of China. Xi’an was the region from which the ancient Great Silk Road originated, and until now it is proud of its tremendous Islamic monuments, as well as wonderful Islamic food and music, and every year tens of millions of Chinese visitors visit the They visit to understand their legacy of genius and enjoy their culture. The city is loved and appreciated by all Chinese, primarily for its vibrant Islamic identity.
Therefore, it is complete nonsense to describe China as “anti-Muslim”. Ironically, China (and Russia) is immeasurably more tolerant of Islam than the West, both historically and today.
Even worse than that nonsense is the claim that China is building “concentration camps” in Xinjiang. China’s position is clear in this regard: what the West describes as camps are “vocational preparation centers” where “apprentices” can learn the Chinese language and gain job skills to participate in the Chinese economy and avoid falling victim to the Chinese. appeals to “terrorism and religious extremism”. Finally, a colleague of mine met with a group of Indonesian Muslim leaders who gained access to the so-called “camps” in Xinjiang and told him that people who spend time in these institutions can sleep at home at night. Hardly any Guantanamo Bay, honestly.
And the “judge” that has been installed to try China, that is, the United States, has hundreds of high-security prisons spread throughout the country. It is well known that the incarceration of people has been a full-blown and profitable industry for the private sector there, for many decades. Millions of Americans, and others, are being held on lesser charges. How could a country with the largest number of prisoners in the world compared to its population dare to preach justice to others? What a great mystery.
The true purpose of manipulating the Uyghur question is the fierce pursuit of the United States to monopolize hegemony, to avoid sharing influence in the world with other more humane countries such as China, and its unwillingness to face peaceful competition on the basis of large ideas and goodwill towards people. The more nihilistic America’s foreign policy becomes, the more it accuses others of “committing murder” by starting a bloody conflict in the target country, and as soon as the government of that country begins to resolve the conflict and “put out the fire. “From the United States to restore security, accusations of human rights violations are being prepared, and Sanctions soon follow.
Washington’s policies are leading millions of human lives to torment and pain, and all of this must stop somehow and sooner.
