China is holding Muslim people in concentration camps in Northwestern China. Many people have been affected, and CNN did a report about how difficult it is to do journalism on this, because of Chinese government officials following them, and creating precautionary measures to stop their investigations.
China currently has a communist government. The Communist party believes that economic equality can be reached through elimination of private property. They do not believe in social classes, and think that everyone should be economically equal.
The Chinese government has continued to deport family members of US citizens who speak out against this. According to USA Today, China is deporting people in an effort to eradicate their social identity and culture (even though the Chinese Muslim population is already very small, since most people there practice Buddhism).
This is similar to what happened to the Jewish people during World War II. During the second World War, Adolf Hitler persuaded the people of Germany to have a hatred toward Jewish people. He did this by posing them as the threat to "the Fatherland", especially when a Jewish man killed Joachim von Ribbentrop, the foreign minister of Nazi Germany.
Let's hope this doesn't start WW3...
