§What are some similarities between China’s treatment of the Muslim Uyhgurs and the society of 1984, Oceania?

 

§What are some themes in 1984 that can be applied to China’s policy of imprisoning people whose only crime is the God they worship and their culture and traditions?

 

§Why do you think Americans do not know much about this issue? Why does the American media barely report on this human crisis?

 

§Why does China only allow the reporters limited access to just a few facilities and not complete access?

 

§What is “Orwellian” about this entire situation? George Orwell’s novels are banned in China. Why do you think?
