| This giant area, Xinjiang, is where Uighurs live. |
XINJIANG, China - John Oliver discusses the severe human rights abuses against the Uighur people, whose land in the northwest was incorporated to be part of the Han people's China. Uyghurs (\wee-gers\) are facing at the hands of the Chinese capitalist-communist government, and why these atrocities are worth our undivided attention.

| It wasn't just us. Now the Uighurs are getting it. |
