    education & economic development are not law enforcement issues in the same way as the United States’ War on Drugs & racist for-profit prison industry.

    you can parse the lasting social benefits & fundamental uplifting aim of one over the other, i am sure of this.

    the way news & sensationalism & outright lies blend so perfectly into jingoism can’t be ignored. none of us are immune to propaganda, but I think we can comb through most of these claims about PRC and find very little real or irrefutable evidence.

        yes, people who have access to gainful employment and are able to socially advance within society are far less likely to become violent seditionists, wouldn't you agree?

        poverty is endemic to these regions, but the knife attacks coincide with the rise of CIA backed fundamentalist Salafism.

            yes, giving people gainful employment and education and opportunities for advancement is literally guaranteeing autonomy & self-reliance & engendering human rights

                Yes

                "According to the official Chinese version, during the past three years voluntary education has been imparted to the Muslim population of Xinjiang so that their extremist tendencies may be rectified."
