Uyghurs Call For Viewer Boycott of ‘Genocide’ Olympics; NYT Aids China’s Propaganda

The following people can help you: New York TimesChina uses propaganda to push the 2022 Winter Olympics. The games begin this weekend in Beijing. Down to their last hope of spreading the truth about China’s human rights atrocities, the Uyghurs are urging the world not to watch the Games on television. The Uyghurs and their allies spent many years trying unsuccessfully to get the International Olympic Committee to not award the Games of the brutal dictatorship.

Unwilling to sense the politically volatile climate in China, the deaf and dumb IOC merely states it opposes politics in sport. The East Turkistan Government In Exile, speaking on behalf of the Uyghurs enslaved in exile, called for boycotts of the Olympic broadcasts as a demonstration against Chinese genocide.

Breitbart reports China has converted East Turkistan into an open-air prison, “using sophisticated surveillance technology to monitor citizens and force the erasure of Islam and local identity through the destruction of mosques, ancient cemeteries, and other cultural sites. Adding insult to injury, Chinese officials have replaced holy sites with things such as hotels and public toilets.”

Hong Kong also faces Chinese oppression. Christians and Falun Gong supporters are persecuted, as well as pro-democracy advocates.

The Daily Mail is comparing China’s evil regime with that of Adolf Hitler, who “desperately needed to legitimise his tyrannical regime” by using the 1936 Olympic Games. “(A)nd now China’s own totalitarian ruler Xi Jinping is about to do the same,” says Victoria University’s Institute for Health and Sport Olympic Research Network co-director Richard Baka.

It’s an event that promotes propaganda, I think. (Chinese President Xi Jinping) wants to signal to the world that ‘we are doing well and we are one of the world’s great powers now’ and that’s what Hitler was trying to do in the 1930s,” Baka said.

The Daily Mail reported China has spent the last six months shutting millions of its citizens off from the outside world, out of fear that “human rights advocates, downtrodden minorities and dissidents could embarrass the Communist Party” prior to the Olympic Games. China warns foreign athletes against criticizing the communist state.

Amnesty’s China researcher, Alkan Akad, said the Beijing Winter Olympics “must not be allowed to pass as a mere sportswashing opportunity for the Chinese authorities and the international community must not become complicit in a propaganda exercise.”

As China’s propaganda machine whirls, The New York Times nods in approval. Fox News reported that the paper “raised eyebrows with a report critics say offers “over-the-top” praise for China and its leader ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics.:

“China no longer needs to prove its standing on the world stage; instead, it wants to proclaim the sweeping vision of a more prosperous, more confident nation under Mr. Xi, the country’s most powerful leader since Mao Zedong. Today, the government defies critics that once tried to placate them by making the Games a success. …”

The doesn’t-have-a-clue Times also raved about how China has expanded its economy and cleaned up polluted air. Critics were gathering to lambast the administration. NYT.

Cong. Cong. Bravo! Hugh Hewitt was a radio host and said, “What is the point of all this? CCP has poisoned the entire world. It denies this. While pursuing genocide and crushing Hong Kong. What if you changed a lot? Sheesh.”

A number of international organisations, including the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, demanded that the Olympics be boycotted.
