Police in the Xinjiang region of China rely on a master list of 50,000 multimedia files they deem “violent and terrorist” to flag Uyghur and other Turkic Muslim residents for interrogation. An investigation found that over nine months, police conducted nearly 11 million searches of a total of 1.2 million mobile phones in Urumqi, Xinjiang’s capital city of 3.5 million residents.
the patriot act was the exact same justification, but this is somehow justified
This is the last and only thing I think should be mentioned. You miss or should I say refuse to acknowledge, right at the start, the fact that this isn't the only thing China's doing to counter extremism in Xinjiang.
If China did literally nothing else but pass a major surveillance law that achieves literaly nothing like the Patriot act then yes you'd have a point.
But no, in the US case is not at all similar. The extremism isn't native to Xinjiang, it was imported from groups like ETIM and then also exported to others through ISIS.
"I wont watch the documentary that shows the real videos from the attacks, with interviews from Muslim leaders from Xinjiang and the terrorists in prison."
"I wont read your article because its too old."
I regret ever engaging with this shit. Wait until you find out the first attacks in Xinjiang started in 90s rofl.

You can't stick your fingers in your ears and expect people to engage with you or anything you're saying.
