appreciate it, thanks.
I love the fact you were so enthusiastically arguing about this without apparently knowing the first thing about it beyond sensationalist western headlines.
my guy, i'm "enthusiastically" arguing the simple point that the PRC should be held to the same standard as the west.
I'm getting cutting rebuttals in this thread: that islam is an existential threat (and thus the west and PRC are justified in their actions) (lol); that the PRC's invasive approach is paternal and for the Uighers' benefit -- to provide jobs (uh, an empty justification that could be leveraged by any "imperial power"); that Xianjing is properly within Chinese/PRC's hegemonic sphere (complete question-begging nonsense).
feel free to give me better facts, showing that the PRC's alleged cruelties are fabrications (blobjim endeavored to so, respectfully), but please spare me your unearned, patronizing comments and these sorts of ludicrous, cringe-inducing arguments.
Not sure if you saw it already but I made a post in c/sino that you might be interested in: https://hexbear.net/post/33959
Of course this was just from a single school during a limited time tour but it reinforces the impression that I got from looking into this issue which is that the only part that I find concerning is that the criteria for selecting people to attend the camps seems rather arbitrary.
Also the World Bank, which had been funding some of these camps conducted their own investigation and released this statement about them saying they didn't find anything that substantiates the allegations: https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/statement/2019/11/11/world-bank-statement-on-review-of-project-in-xinjiang-china
