employed in the prisons and the sale of the internal organs of those con-
demned to death, all reveal the ugly face of the communist administra-
tion. Despite all this, however, for the last 20 years a number of media
outlets have been spreading the propaganda that China is rapidly pre-
ceding down a liberal and democratic path. One important point is
often ignored: The fact that China has moved to capitalist practices in
the economic field and has opened its gates to foreign investors in a
number of areas, does not mean that there has also been a change in the
country's political structure and ideology. On the contrary, the inhu-
man practices still common demonstrate that nothing has changed in
the mentality of the ruling Communist Party. This will be clarified with
a great many examples in subsequent chapters of this book.
A major area of communist savagery is East Turkestan, home to
the Muslim Uighur Turks. Located at the westernmost point of China,
East Turkestan has been under occupation for the last two centuries or
I n recent years, there has been much talk about the increased freedom
and liberalization in the economic arena in China. Yet the freedom is lim-
ited to specific areas, and the cruel and oppressive system in China has,
in fact, not changed.
