      Keep following that train of thought and realize that it's not about optics. Western capital pulling out of Xinjiang is a goal in and of its self. It's a form of sanctioning. America has been trying to get a color revolution going there for ages. They want Xinjiang to be poor, in the hope that they will revolt and form the glorious nation of East Turkistan.

      It's not going to work. CIA ops just aren't what they used to be. But they're trying.

        First, any company that employed Uyghurs in Xinjiang was labeled as benefiting from slave labor. Now they wonder why no one wants to hire them

        Private interests pull out of Xinjiang

        Xinjiang is forced to adapt into a command economy

      The last spate of companies moving their production from China also conveniently did it right after another national increase in worker wages.

      No, their solution is to move production to a different country like India.

      Modi's India, famous respecter of human rights.

    Challenge liberals to show pictures of this genocide which has supposedly been going on for several years. They won’t be able to. The only picture I can find is the one of the guys in blue uniforms sitting in some kind of prison. Aside from being in prison, they appear to be in decent shape.

    As someone with Jewish ancestry it’s pretty amazingly horrific to see people abusing the word “genocide.” A lot of New York Times readers just don’t know any better, but the ones running the USA absolutely know what they’re doing.

    Also, as usual, the USA has no right to criticize anyone about anything.

      Fun fact about that picture: it's from an official report on education and training programs in Chinese prisons, and was specifically taken at a speech on those programs; other pictures in the set show that family members of the prisoners are seated about 10 feet in front of them on folding chairs, along with the stage and speakers.

    china is such an evil dangerous authoritarian country that they can clamp down on anyone fleeing very easily you MORAN.

    just ignore that when 20,000+ rohingya muslims were killed in myanmar, over 500,000 fled to nearby bangladesh

      Don't forget that the libs alleged that the Uighurs dancing outside their mosques during Eid were paid actors, so part of cultural genocide is... being paid government money to practice your culture in public.

    Uyghurs probably understand that even if there are abuses taking place during a large scale de-radicalization programms ,there would be worse off and less safe living at any neighbouring Country . There is no genocide but even regarding the existing issues, emigrate and "flee" to where? India? Middle East ? Even in Europe they would be less safe and worse off as refugees
