This policy has been called a \u201cstrategic blunder\u201d by Nury Turkel, chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). The commission\u2019s 2023 annual report on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">international religious freedom<\/a> (pdf) highlights China once again for violations of religious freedom and religious persecution.<\/p>\n<h3>China\u2019s Deteriorating Record on Religious Freedom<\/h3>\n<p>Since 1999, China has been recommended by USCIRF to the State Department for designation as a \u201ccountry of particular concern\u201d(CPC) due to its deteriorating record on religious freedom. This CPC status is assigned by the State Department to countries that \u201ccommit systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom,\u201d according to the commission\u2019s website. The State Department can impose sanctions or take other action on a designated country.<\/p>\n<h3>Delinking Human Rights from Trade Negotiations: A Strategic Blunder<\/h3>\n<p>Turkel believes that an essential factor that contributed to the escalation of religious repressions in China was delinking human rights from the 1990s trade negotiations facilitating China\u2019s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). \u201cIt\u2019s a strategic blunder in multiple ways,\u201d the chairman said.<\/p>\n<h3>The War on Faith<\/h3>\n<p>One reason for the war on people of faith carried out by the CCP is that the \u201cChinese communist leadership sees people of faith as a potential threat for political upheaval,\u201d Turkel said. The second reason is the CCP perceives religious practitioners as a group of people \u201cshowing signs of disloyalty to the party,\u201d which makes the CCP leadership believe that they will eventually undermine the Communist Party\u2019s power.<\/p>\n<h3>Need for Strategy Change<\/h3>\n<p>Turkel recommended that the United States, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union should revisit their China policies and come up with coherent strategic policies to stop these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/this-meeting-is-almost-meaningless-meghan-mccain-says-us-has-given-power-and-money-to-vladimir-putin\/\" title=\"\u2018This Meeting Is Almost Meaningless\u2019: Meghan McCain Says US Has \u2018Given Power And Money To Vladimir Putin\u2019\">egregious human rights violations<\/a> in China. When a country respects people\u2019s rights to practice their religion or adhere to their spiritual beliefs, it will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-depth-international-community-allowed-chinese-regime-to-expand-human-rights-abuses-uscirf-chair-says\/\" title=\"USCIRF Chair blames international community for allowing Chinese regime to increase human rights violations.\">naturally achieve social stability<\/a>, harmony, and peace. When a country suppresses religious freedom, it needs to spend money on domestic security and police forces, China spends more money on domestic security than on the national defense.<\/p>\n<h3>Persecution Methods<\/h3>\n<p>Among the groups specifically targeted by the Chinese regime, Turkel listed Uyghur Muslims, who are being subjected to indoctrination or so-called \u201creeducation.\u201d \u201cThe reeducation is a code word for human reengineering. And this is how they have been accomplishing that preemptive treatment method.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>chairman criticized the Western strategy of separating trade talks from human rights abuses, stating that it enabled the Chinese communist regime to intensify its oppressive actions against religious groups and believers.
