Let’s see if we can find any proof of the “forced labour”

HRW’s concerns centre on the link between aluminium smelters in China’s Xinjiang province and what it describes as Chinese government-backed labour transfer programs that allegedly “coerce Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims into jobs in Xinjiang and other regions”.

The group has alleged that since 2017 the Chinese government has committed crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, including “arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, and cultural and religious persecution, and has subjected Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim communities to forced labour inside and outside Xinjiang”.

HRW said there is “credible evidence” that aluminium producers in Xinjiang have received workers from labour transfer programs, as has the local coal industry that energy-intensive aluminium smelters rely on. The organisation said its research relied on Chinese state media, company reports and government statements available online, because of “the high level of repression and surveillance in Xinjiang, including threats to workers and auditors” that make it impossible for both human rights groups and car companies to conduct credible investigations into allegations of forced labour.

Human Rights Watch reviewed online Chinese state media articles, company reports, and government statements and found credible evidence that aluminum producers in Xinjiang are participating in labor transfers. Human Rights Watch also uncovered evidence that fossil fuel companies that supply coal to aluminum producers in Xinjiang have received labor transfer workers at their coal mines. Xinjiang’s aluminum smelters depend on the region’s abundant and highly polluting coal supplies to fuel the energy-intensive process of aluminum production.

from: hrw.org/…/car-companies-complicity-forced-labor-c…

this is the study cited by the guardian and the hrw article

“In a 2020 report that typifies the way company and media documents describe labor transfers as benefitting Uyghurs, Xinjiang Energy (Group) provides a glowing account of the life of one labor transfer worker, praising the company’s efforts to tackle his homesickness and separation from his family. Another Xinjiang smelter, Xinjiang Zhonghe, co-owns a coal mining company, Tianchi Energy, which participated in labor transfers in 2019 and 2023.”

“Chinese government restrictions on the ability to freely and independently investigate human rights violations mean that field research on forced labor within Xinjiang or on aluminum supply chains is not currently possible. This report is out of necessity primarily based on online research relating to aluminum companies’ operations in Xinjiang and the flow of aluminum from the region into the wider supply chain. This includes review of company statements, annual reports, media articles, and Chinese government documents.”

“Human Rights Watch’s research draws heavily from a December 2022 report by Sheffield Hallam University and NomoGaia, a nongovernmental organization, that documented the links between aluminum smelters in Xinjiang and major global carmakers. It also builds on a report in April 2022 by Horizon Advisory, a consultancy group, that documented links between aluminum smelters in Xinjiang and labor transfer schemes”

That’s the entire source chain and am completely unconvinced that this is “forced”

Xinjiang Papers -

The quote from the New York Times Article discussing the papers [nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/16/world/asia/china-xinjiang-documents.html]: “absolutely no mercy” was from a 2014 speech on the terror attacks, specifically was referring to the perpetrators of the terror attacks, and did not scapegoat Uyghurs to any extent (what a wonder a three letter quote could be taken out of context!) in addition, the phrase “organs of dictatorship” from that speech refers to the proletarian class dictatorship The “leaked documents” (provided by anonymous sources) were affirmed by Adrian Zenz (Christofascist racist) and James Mulvenon (former member of the U.S. state adjacent Council on Foreign Relations and member of the National Committee on United States - China Relations, which along with the Defense Group Inc.—of which he is vice-president–provides military policy planning and assessments to the United States Government). Mulvenon also has testified before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a U.S. Government project. His profile for this commission reads in part:“James Mulvenon is Director of Intelligence Integration at SOS International, where he has recruited and trained a team of more than forty-five Chinese, Russian, Korean, and Farsi linguist-analysts and ten cleared software developers, performing collection, analysis, and operations support for US Government and corporate customers”

The principle document (the “bulletins” are rather benign) is a top-secret telegram which the ICIJ describes as:“…from the Communist Party commission in charge of Xinjiang’s security apparatus. The telegram, written in Chinese, is an operations manual for operation. It is marked ‘secret’ and was approved by Zhu Hailun, then deputy secretary of Xinjiang’s Communist Party and the region’s top security official.”Clearly what we have here is a document meant for only the highest levels of the bureaucracy, one which will divulge the actual thought process and rationale behind policy.

The document begins with a set of guidelines for running the facilities. First is “[to] ensure that the training venue is absolutely safe].” The guidelines follow:“It is strictly forbidden for police to enter the student zone with guns, and they must never allow escapes, never allow trouble… never allow food safety incidents and major epidemics, and they must ensure the training center is safe and free of risk”“Through letter writing, phone calls, video chats, visits, meetings, etc., establish a mechanism for students and relatives to interact with each other, to that the ensure students will have a phone conversation with their relatives at least once a month, to make their family feel at ease and the students feel safe.”“…every effort should be made to fix employment work for completed graduates to ensure the smooth development of students with employment aspirations. For those who don’t have the ability to work and have difficulties in life, it is necessary to coordinate grassroots organizations to seriously carry out assistance and relief work, and effectively solve practical difficulties.”

There are further notes on strict time management, preventing earthquakes and fires, and also measures to surveil all areas. These seem comparable to prisons, which is in line with the highest facilities being reserved for radicalized terrorists (bulletin No. 20 deals with those spreading violent propaganda / those who have joined terrorist organizations). When considering that the United States promoted terrorist radicalization in Xinjiang such things lose isolation. The document outlines a very strict process, but one not mentioning forced anti-religious practices such as consuming pork or alcohol [The Independent 29 May 2018], organ harvesting [Falun Gong cult allegations], forced labor [U.S. Dept. of Labor], or physical abuse/torture (we cannot make a case of propaganda, because these are again purportedly top-secret documents).

Show me a picture of the Xinjaing genocide, there are so many of the genocide in Palestine perpetrated by a top intelligence agency/military equipment state so finding photo/video evidence of the Uyghyr should be easy right?

Show me a picture of a civilian death in Tianamen Square, it has been refuted by many academics from many different countries.

Do you support anti-covid lockdown protests in other countries?

Ars Magica but Burning wheel is a close second. I run and play modern/sci-fi 90% of the time as I got burned out on fantasy setting but I hold a candle for running/playing a theme campaign of a Mage Guild in ars Magica or a Theives guild in Burning Wheel.

dialectical_analysis_of_gock, 6 months ago

There is a ttrpg youtuber that did a video on Harnmaster mentioning he uses the Ars Magica magic system in that game which sounds like an absolute delight. Me, Myself & Die is the channel name. I love crunchy systems (I’ve been gamemastering Shadowrun since 3rd edition) and I’ve wanted to get into a fantasy crunchy system but stars have not aligned … yet. I’ve played and ran PF2e a lot and while the three action economy is fantastic and the world-building is delightful (Golarian’s kingdomds of Geb & Nex are so unique) I really don’t care for Vancian magic or class systems.

You can actually do some really cool low-magic / low-power games with Burning Wheel there is a pretty good let’s play channel (can’t recall the name, think it’s Patronage) that uses Burning Wheel to explore the players as artisans in a Renaissance analog.

From what I understand, a big difference of BW compared to a lot of fantasy is that it is fantastic at character forward play, with the game looking like a series of vignettes with each character as opposed to a singular scene of the adventuring party. Which can be great when you want to do a political intrigue a la GoT where one player is a magically inclined daughter of a farmer, one player is the bastard son of the corrupt and ailing king, and the third is a veteran captain of the guard to the king. With BW, you can have each character’s Beliefs / Instincts help guide the game towards the ascent of the bastard to the throne, but for a good chunk of the game each player’s “scenes” may not connect the other players. Some good advice I’ve seen on this is to have the players whose characters are not in the scene actually RP the NPCs, which I’ve yet to do but sounds great in theory.

You could look into Hunter: the Reckoning same vibes but you are a urban fantasy / paranormal investigator fighting the evil while trying to keep hold of your humanity / reason to hunt.

I’ve run VtM a good bit and it can be difficult hence the important of a session zero to establish lines/veils, for me I had to say I’m going to veil the hunt scenes.

Deadlands is so cool, the Weird West genre has such potential!

dialectical_analysis_of_gock, 6 months ago

I also want to check out a BitD game, or at least one of the other genres that make use of the system. I’ve read it, and it does break new ground in TTRPG design but it just hasn’t happened yet.
