Another is Made in China 2025 Your energy demands for electricity, oil, etc, are higher than ever and it’s gonna keep growing The original Silk Road that connected China to the rest of the world runs through an area of China called Xinjiang. Xinjiang is also home to a ton of natural resources. It has 40% of your coal reserves, 25% of your gas reserves, so Xinjiang is your most important piece of land Xinjiang is home to the Uighurs If Uighurs don’t feel like they’re a part of the Chinese culture, they could want to form their own independent nation If you don’t do something about this issue, everything falls apart You need to flood the city with police and 24 hour surveillance to keep the peace. So you turn Xinjiang into a high tech police state to categorize people as safe, regular, or unsafe So you build re-education camps This is gonna cost a lot of money to build and maintain but the ROI of tightening our grip on this region will be make us a lot more money While you have all these people captured, you might as well use them as cheap labor We can’t afford to lose any business so once word does get out, you gotta suck up your pride and control the narrative.
