‘Reeducation Is a Code Word for Human Reengineering’: Nury Turkel on the CCP’s War on Faith
American Thought Leaders - Un podcast de Jan Jekielek
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) treats people of faith “as though they carry an infectious disease [that] needs to be cured … ‘Reeducation’ is a code word for human reengineering,” says Nury Turkel, chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). He was born in a reeducation camp in China during the Cultural Revolution. It’s been 19 years since he last saw his mother, who remains in China.We discuss the CCP’s high-tech tyranny, its war on religious faiths—detailed in a new USCIRF report—and the influence of Chinese lobbying in America.What was America’s greatest strategic blunder in its relationship with the CCP? And how can it be rectified now?
