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

    Except you just implied it's part of counter-terror efforts.

      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.

        Sure.

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

            Giving?

            So these are all volunteers?

              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."

                According to the official Chinese version

                According to the state the state didn't do bad things.

                You can always trust the state.

                      weird, that article you sent says

                      “The purpose [of the camp network] was to try to indoctrinate and change an entire population by channeling them through this dedicated system,” said Adrian Zenz, a leading researcher into the Xinjiang internment camps, who is senior fellow in China studies at the victims of communism foundation"

                      So you take that Guardian's interpretation of Zenz' lies as fact huh?

                        No, but it's hard to find a publication that put out the leaks without referencing that anti-communist wacko.

                        Doesn't change the contents of the leaks.

                          yes, if these speculations contain positive references to Zenz in any way, then they are suspect

                            The news is the leaks not the biased presentation.

                              Have you seen the provenance of these supposed "leaks"? Because, without actual verification of that information, it's just badly written Chinese script on paper.

                              Have you seen actual footage inside the schools?

                              Have you seen any physical evidence to suggest that people are being abused or culturally genocided or killed by PRC?

                              Because I don't think you've seen anything of that nature, you just take Adrian Zenz' sensationalism & anti-communism as unquestionable
