Uzbekistan - Target of western smear campaign

Uzbekistan, like all the central landlocked Asian countries are enjoying an unusual economic growth that brought increasing wealth to its people, thanks to the BRI. But such news would not be welcome in the western media. I just saw a brief documentary in CNA, produced by a western reporter by the name of Julia Chapman, highlighting what? Of course not the economic well being and growing prosperity of the Uzbekistanis but the plight of a few rundown villages being resettled and the land being redeveloped.

The main point of the report was that the govt was ruthless and resettled the villages, demolished their dilapidated homes without due care and compensation to them. Is this true? Would any govt moved out their own villagers, demolished their homes without compensation? Even China would compensate its affected residents except that some die die refused to move and had to be moved by minimal force. China must have learnt from Singapore which has been practising resettlement of old settlements in the name of progress. Uzbekistan would only do the same.

Can such resettlements be worse than what is happening in the West Bank, in Golan Height, in Jerusalem? Where were the reports in CNA and western media on the ruthless expulsion of the Palestinians from their historical homeland? Did the Israelis compensate them or care about the welfare of the Palestinians?

Or should the world follow the great examples of the white Europeans when they invaded the Americas and forcefully evicted the natives by killing them and taking over their land, their countries and sent the survivors of their genocide to the wildest land, the poorest land called reservations? How did the Americans conduct their resettlement of the native Indians in America? With tender loving care? Compensating rich fertile land with uninhabitable land, and killing all those that refused to move?

Where were the white conscience, where were the human rights protectors and the crocodile tears?
