(National Review<\/a>)\u00a0Slavery and genocide are ancient bedfellows. I first became aware of this fact as a child while watching the opening number of DreamWorks\u2019s 1998 film, The Prince of Egypt<\/em>. In the first five minutes of the movie, enslaved Hebrew men construct monuments to the Pharaoh as their wives beg for their infant sons\u2019 lives. All, save Moses, are ripped from their mothers\u2019 arms and tossed into the Nile.<\/p>\n

Of course, with 21st-century technology, crocodile-infested rivers are no longer needed to get rid of minority children. We have \u201cmedicine\u201d for that.<\/p>\n

Last week, drone footage, verified by Western intelligence agencies, emerged from Northern China. It showed Uighur Muslims bound and blindfolded, with shaven heads, being loaded onto trains that were likely headed for detention camps. In a BBC interview, British journalist Andrew Marr demanded answers from Liu Xiaoming, the Chinese ambassador to the United Kingdom. Xiaoming accused \u201cso-called Western intelligence agencies\u201d of making \u201cfalse accusations against China.\u201d The population of Xinjiang had doubled in 40 years, he said, which clearly proved that \u201cethnic cleansing\u201d and \u201cso-called forced abortions\u201d had not occurred. Marr, unconvinced, retorted, \u201cAccording to your own local government statistics, the population growth in Uighur jurisdictions in that area has fallen by 84 percent between 2015 and 2018. 84 percent<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

How can that be so? A recent report by the Associated Press, compiling \u201cgovernment statistics, state documents and interviews with 30 ex-detainees, family members and a former detention camp instructor\u201d gives an idea.<\/p>\n

Over the past four years, the Chinese government has spent tens of millions of dollars to violently hijack the functioning reproductive systems of minority women. In 2017, according to official directives uncovered by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, government officials backed by armed law-enforcement officers were instructed to \u201cleave no blind spots,\u201d \u201ccontain illegal births and lower fertility rates,\u201d \u201ctest all who need to be tested,\u201d and \u201cdetect and deal with those who violate policies early.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AP report<\/a> found that \u201chaving too many children\u201d is a \u201cmajor reason people are sent to detention camps,\u201d that \u201cparents of three or more [children] are ripped away from their families unless they can pay huge fines,\u201d and that \u201cpolice raid homes, terrifying parents as they search for hidden children.\u201d The report also contains shocking witness testimony:<\/p>\n
