Extensive evidence from eyewitness testimonies, satellite evidence, and leaked documents suggests that the Communist Party began building concentration camps in East Turkistan around 2017 to house Uyghur, Kazakh, and Kyrgyz people, among other minorities.

Qureshi also allegedly agreed to \u201cresolutely crack down\u201d on the \u201cEast Turkistan Islamic Movement\u201d (ETIM), an alleged Uyghur terrorist organization that the U.S. government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/national-security\/2020\/11\/06\/u-s-drops-uyghur-group-from-terrorist-list-angering-china\/\">removed<\/a> from its official list of terror groups in 2020 on the grounds that no evidence suggests that it exists. China nonetheless strongarms allied countries into condemning the non-existent group and addressing it as a true threat that justifies the genocide of the Uyghur people.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Wang described Chinese-Pakistani relations as \u201cunbreakable and rock-solid\u201d during his meeting with Qureshi.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWang Yi congratulated Pakistan on hosting the session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers, noting that this highlights Pakistan\u2019s role as a bridge between the Islamic world and oriental civilizations,\u201d the readout continued. \u201cThe presence of Chinese Foreign Minister upon invitation is a testament to the high level of exchanges between China and the Islamic world and the great importance China attaches to strengthening relations with Islamic countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wang, China\u2019s Xinhua news agency <a href=\"https:\/\/english.news.cn\/20220322\/beed2508f56f4fed9e37493fe1595fcb\/c.html\">reported<\/a>, said that \u201cChina and the Islamic world both enjoy a profound history, seek similar values and share historic missions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Xinhua, a government news organization, also <a href=\"https:\/\/english.news.cn\/20220322\/beed2508f56f4fed9e37493fe1595fcb\/c.html\">reported<\/a> that Wang and Qureshi agreed to \u201cstrengthen coordination\u201d on Ukraine, without elaborating. Key Chinese ally Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February that continues to this day; China has yet to condemn it while enthusiastically describing itself as a friend to Kyiv.
