I haven't seen too many Great Takes on Xinjiang on reddit or pretty much anywhere esle for a while. News seems to be done with it too. Amazing how that happened as soon as U.S. focus shifted to Taiwan.

      I’m curious why there hasn’t been more blatant accusations toward China about making and losing control of COVID-19. It seems ready-made for anti-China sentiment.

      Yeah, this has always given me kind of a weird feeling. Why are they leaving that on the table? Is it just because Trump said it?

      Fort Detrick is incredibly sus so for whatever reason the US doesn't want this to become mainstream knowledge, China can force the matters by bringing this up to the UN, making speeches etc so the only explanation is that the US got the message, they are afraid of articles like this becoming mainstream.
