If you've been following the news lately, China has been popping in and out of daily briefing emails like it's a box office hit's sequel release in a New York movie theater — a lot. Most of this has to do with international politics that directly affect U.S trade relations with China, the unpopular arrest of a Huawei CFO, allegations of responsibility on a major cyber attack on the Marriot Hotel chain, and growing and high-rate accusations of Chinese economic espionage from the American DOJ.

To put it simply, Chinese and U.S relations are wavering in their tension, with the international binds tearing relentlessly on each other end — but not without justification — that being that both the U.S and China have seen their interests grow increasingly in conflicting mannerisms due to political circumstance.

But beyond these conflicts, we've overlooked a major humanitarian crisis going on in China — odious conduction in the propagandic name of "re-education camps." Those re-education" camps reportedly being detention camps that torture those of the Muslim faith — literally.

There are reports of waterboarding — literally. Detainees have been required to eat pork and drink alcohol — both of which are against the teachings of the Muslim Faith. The name isn't designed to fool people either. Muslim minorities have actively been persecuted by the Chinese Government, stating in their own legislation that these camps are now legal.

The main targets of persecution have been Uighur Muslims, which there are tens of millions of people of in the country, been running at a minimum of tens of thousands in such camps, but estimates from confrontations by the U.N Council puts that number at a staggering one.

Not one. Not 100. Not 100,000.

One million. Up to 1 Million People.

Atop torturing, there's serious indoctrination that Muslims go through in these camps – forced praise of Xi Jinping, chanting and studying propaganda. They aren't re-education camps. They are indoctrination camps. The government just doesn't seem to like it being put into explicit context.

China's justification for this? To protect themselves from extremism. The same thing other countries are doing – like the U.S- but rather than detaining and persecuting a minority, such as detecting explosives, investments in the general protection of critical infrastructure and cyber networks from attack, and information-sharing partnerships.

It's evident that detainment is not the only solution.

Let's be clear here- there is room for intent here. One of those intent being an attempt at hiking collectivism and nationalism in a country that depends on both two factors to grow. In a time when they are facing greater strain with the U.S., enhancing those two factors through any means necessary. Including scapegoating and persecution, inclusive protectionism in a nation that relies on it to grow their name can be an appealing option.

There's a common theory that history has the tendency to mirror itself.

In a vile, twisted action of leveled federal McCarthyism, the Chinese Government has Soviet, Cold-War-era regulations written over its actions. Scapegoating. Potential gain from collectivism. Anti-populist carelessness. Dependency on propaganda.

In the mirror's reflection, however, there was clear condemnation. The president, and the U.S, as a nation took to call for change.

There are international lines that need to have been crossed. In a world with a model known as the "United Nations," we have a responsibility to take care of these. All of us in the U.N. to protect those under us. That's what governments do. When they meet, that has to be a priority.

To ensure the safety of millions of people? That's a requirement.
