        2035: US state department has condemned China for their genocide of 3 trillion uighur muslims. The US is still bombing Afghanistan and Guantanamo is still open.

      I'm certain this ridiculous nonsense is derived from the vocational centers being a revolving door-type program. Like they originally got the "1 million Uighurs detained" by surveying random villages on how many of their fellows were "detained" and would get a ~10% proportion most of the time. So they widened that proportion to the entire population.

      They're probably making this new shit up by asking how many people in a small sample size have been to a camp or know others who have been, and get high proportions. So they widen the proportion again to draw ridiculous conclusions about how 80% of an ethnic group are in camps.

      Whats probably actually happening is that these Uighurs are forced to attend a job training program for a certain amount of time a year and rotate out on a large scale.
