The authors read from the book "China Protocols". Since 2014, the Chinese government has established a vast network of penal camps in Xinjiang for ethnic minorities, predominantly Muslim Uighurs and Kazakhs. Here, the inmates - an estimated three million people - are forced to perform forced labor, tortured, raped, abused for medical experiments, and brainwashed. They are expected to give up their identities and become willing Chinese state servants.
In the book, Alexandra Cavelius focuses on the interviews of five witnesses who were held in these camps. Sayragul Sauytbay contributes an analysis of individual thematic foci.
In addition, the authors show how the People's Republic of China is trying to extend its political and economic influence by all means to Africa and Europe.
