China’s Cultural Genocide Against the Uyghurs (original) (raw)

Providence Magazine, 2023

Abstract

The religious beliefs of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are defined by Han Chinese culture and customs, with the PRC’s national assimilation policy entailing the eradication all minority religions. China’s religious persecutions of its Buddhists, Christians, Tibetans, and Turkic Muslim citizens violate the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights Act, which mandates religious liberty, among other human rights. Moreover, through a Christian lens, China’s persecution of these religious and ethno-religious groups is a violation of the imago dei; that humans are made in the image of God and thus require humane treatment. China’s persecution of Christians dates back to the Taiping rebellion, which began in 1850 in conjunction with the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, Chinese subjugation by Western powers, and the rise of a millenarian Christian state. According to the Heritage Foundation, Chinese Christians are sent to reeducation camps to erase their religious beliefs, culture, and customs.
