the uighur muslims are being collateral damage between communistchina's hunger for power and the otherountries trade deals. amy: i wanted to ask sophie richardson, when it comes to the uighur population, what does china explain that it is doing and how does it justify this app? how much is known about this app, for example, inside china? >> the chinese governments broad justification for its policies really revolve around national security. the chinese government insists it is grappling with threats of terrorism and that since it began its latest strike hard against extremism campaign in 2016, there have been no major attacks. now, we would responded advising there have been no major attack since the provinces under and near total lockdown regardless of whether someone is detained in a political education camp or outside where there is so pervasive restrictions on movement, religion, people interacting with one another. the app is reasonably well-known across the province. we had come across it in the course of doing research on other kinds of surveillance technology. but then we found

what's your view of your own government putting, we believe, at least a million uighur muslims into detentions re—education centres. well, first of all, the uighur brothers and sisters are some one of the 56 ethnic groups in china. i have lots of uighur friends. we call them brothers and sisters. well, if you have lots of uighur friends, what do you think of putting a million or so uighur people into these camps? first of all, i don't think there is any scientific data to support the claim that there are i million uighur people locked up in china. that's number one. number two is that, if we talk and look at the situation in xinjiang objectively, then we need to acknowledge that xinjiang in general is subject to extremism, separatism and terrorism. many of these are forces spilt over from afghanistan. but with respect, we know, and even the chinese media has shown, that in these camps there are men, there are women, there are people who have no connection whatsoever to terrorist organisations. they are simply citizens. now, we also know from leaked documents that the afp newsagency got hold o

using the biometric technology to keep track of the movements of individuals from the persecuted uighur muslimty. it is a worrying example of how facial recognition can be abused to profile and track a minority group. voiceover: to detect, track and analyse people and objects in video... the big tech players are also divided. amazon has drawn criticism for selling its recognition software to law enforcement agencies in the us, with al researchers from companies including microsoft, google and facebook signing an open letter calling for it to stop, saying amazon's algorithms have higher error rates for darker skinned and female faces. microsoft has recently rejected a california law enforcement agency's request to install facial recognition in officers‘ cars and body cameras, due to human rights concerns. there is work that we have turned down, there are we have turned down in some parts of the world where governments have wanted to license our technology, and we just were not comfortable that it would be deployed in a way that would protect people's human rights. and google has vowed not to su

some people are making comparison's between china's treatment of roughly a milliomillion uighur muslimsnd holocaust. told me they're free to go from training camps in that country. orioles say the facilities are little more than concentration camps. here is state department correspondent rich edson. >> mass arbitrary detention, forced political indoctrination and religious oppression. life for millions of ethnic uighurs living in china. that's according to human rights watch that found the chinese government is holding up to a million in political education camps in the northwestern region. >> this is an effort to reprogram people, right? to in many ways eradicate a culture and religion. >> the chinese ambassador claimed tuesday on "special report" the facilities are for those who have committed minor crimes and want job and language training. >> i visited some of the training centers. they are real training centers. they are thought camps. they have open gates. there is no armed guards. people could go home over weekend. >> according to the state department's most human rights report q

one of the main focuses is the fact that their surveillance gear has been used to surveil the uighur muslims northwestern china, and part of it is a protest against the treatment of those people. they've got a million people in reeducation camps, they are being constrained quite a bit, they are being thought to be assimilated into chinese culture and marco rubio and a group from congress wrote a letter to the executive saying can't we do something. so that's what's going on there. liz: well, the question also becomes we know how important security is for this country. in fact, that has a lot to do with the accusation that huawei could very well put together a 5g network within this country and use it as a portal to spy on americans or to steal all kinds of information. we just had at the top of the show the breaking news that arm ceo, they make the chip architecture that many chip companies, including huawei's chip division, use, they have had to cease and desist doing business with this huawei division because of the new government rule. so is it security or some skeptics say it's trying to

about a million uighur muslims have been detained in so-called re-education camps in china. reports from the camps are scars. but indication that physical and psychological torture is taking place. these are the precursors to genocide. we have the power to act. according to reports, the atlantic, 22 uighur muslims with no known anti-american sentiments were detained at guantanamo in late 2001 and kept there for 12 years, from the urging of the chinese government. there are also known cases of uighurs on the suspected terror watch list in the united states and it's entirely possible they were added unfairly by the chinese government. reporting on "wall street journal" indicates that u.s. companies, including coca-cola, the gap, kraft-heinz, are materially benefiting from the uighur detention and must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. thank you, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revi

how would you deal with china and the uighurs, the muslims are re-educating. how do you hold china accountable for that without wrecking the economy. >> i don't think you have to wreck the economy to tell china you cannot have the equivalent of concentration camps. the united states -- very sadly under donald trump we have moved in exactly the wrong way. he supports authoritarian governments all over the world. i believe we have to support democracy and human rights. so, i think china is an important partner. i think we have to deal with trade issues, but i think it should be known that we cannot allow -- we have to stand up and oppose governments that are doing terrible things to minorities. >> is humanitarian reasons a reason to use military force? that's what we did in kosovo and bosnia. >> it depends -- obviously you have to look at case by case. if you're talking about the need to prevent genocide, yeah, i guess so. but obviously every situation is different. >> okay. senator bernie sanders, we got to a lot. i wish we could get to more. i hope we see you

simon many are muslim uighurs that have been incarcerated, but i am of the belief that there are manyore who are otherwise harassed, that we simply don't know about. like i said before, the chilling effect it has on unfettered reporting is abominable. there is just no way that anything happening inside of china that is being reported on, and that includes the internet. so i thank you for that. for being here. for raising the issue. again, i would point out that in the reporters without borders data, if you look at the countries are talking about. there are 176 out of 180, three separate congresses, i have had the human rights act passed this house with heavy emphasis on press censorship and what they are doing to bloggers, only to die in the senate. john had hopes on it in the senate -- holds on it in the senate. we will try to pass it again. senator lockley has joined me in the effort to pass it. mr. simon, i did not see it in your testimony, but i am sure you are concerned about it. since 2011, more than 2000 journalists and bloggers have been detained, and there is no is new cyber

rounding up ethnic muslims and assigning them to reeducation camps. the victims are mostly uighursive in the northwestern part of the country. those who live in the camps travel restrictions, ethnic profiling vehicle checkpoints et cetera. uighur officials are not allowed to practice their religion, go to mosque or fast during ramadan. the goal is to destroy all traces of weaker identity. it's textbook ethnic cleansing. the international left doesn't seem to care. millions of muslims rounded up and put in camps barely are mentioned from liberals. why? because it's happening in china and not ke kentucky. therefore, it's okay. joe biden clearly paid attention to high school history class first he said republicans want to put african-americans back in chains and now he said they want to bring back jim crow. remarkable development next. ♪ ♪ everyone's got to listen to mom. when it comes to reducing the sugar in your family's diet, coke, dr pepper and pepsi hear you. we're working together to do just that. bringing you more great tasting beverages with less sugar or no sugar at all. sma
