Chinazi
Chinazi, or Nazi China, is a term derived from criticism of the similar actions of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Nazi Germany.[1]
Background[edit]
Since 2010s, PRC established re-education camps in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs and Muslims from other ethnic minorities were held in these camps[2][3][4]. China was also found to demolish Mosques in Xinjiang[5]. Uyghurs were forced to install spyware on their phones[6]. Local families in Xinjiang were forced to pair up[7]. Citizens must perform face recognition when they leave or enter their housing estate.[8]. These acts are criticized to be similar to concentration camps during the Nazi Germany[1]
Since 2014, the PRC forced the tear down of Christian cross across the country. As of 2015, over 1200 Christian cross was torn down in Zhejiang Province[9]. Since then, the forced demolition kept going on. In 2018, over 4000 Christian crosses on top of church buildings in Henan Province were demolished and the Flag of PRC was hung instead[10]. These acts are criticized to be repeating the tragedy of religious persecution in the Nazi Germany.[11]
In 2018, an exiled Chinese writer, Yu Jie, published a book called "Chinazi", revealing that China is now moving towards Nazi Germany.[12][13]
Image[edit]
With criticism and sarcasm, Flag of Chinazi was created by combining Flag of China and Flag of the Nazi Party. Creations include golden stars forming Nazis 卐 on a red background.[14][15], and also Nazis 卐 replacing the golden stars on the Flag of China[12]
Social Movement[edit]
In 2019 Hong Kong anti-extradition bill protests, protesters displayed the Flag of Chinazi[16][17]. American journalist and political commentator, Nicholas D. Kristof, from The New York Times mentioned Graffiti were everywhere denouncing the influence of Chinazi[18]. Barrister Lawrence Ma, a Shanxi committee member of the CPPCC with Australian nationality, pointed out that the person using the Flag has violated Section 4 of the "National Flag and National Emblem Ordinance"[14]
