With all eyes on China for the Olympics, do not overlook what the Chinese Communist Party would rather keep in the shadows: the genocide and slavery of the Uyghur Muslims.

China’s Communist government has detained more than 1 million Uyghur Muslims in “re-education” camps to be exploited for their forced labor. During a recent press conference, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged U.S. Olympic athletes not to speak out against the Chinese Communist Party’s blatant human rights abuses, stating the party is “ruthless” and that she worries what they might do to “their reputations or their families.”
