It's an leaked internal memo/operation's manual, not a press release. If there was any instructions to engage in sinister activity, then it'd be in there but it's not. You'd almost begin to think that a socialist* government that explicitly overthrew the previously nationalist-bourgeois government, explicitly enshrined the rights of minority groups in their legislature on a fundamental level and saw the share of Uyghur population in Xinijiang supersede that of the Han population reversing their decline under the forementioned KMT wouldn't abruptly start committing ethnic prosecution for absolutely no reason, but maybe I'm off my rocker.
my basic thesis is that throwing people in camps because they are “baby-making machines” is never good and the only way anyone could think this is okay is if they believe the chinese government 100%. which is absurd.
I've seen nothing to suggest people are being thrown into camps for being 'baby-making machines?' Decreases in reproductive rates among a population that is introduced to greater wealth, birth-control and education is a trend universally repeated throughout human history.
And no, I don't support prisons, I don't support the state. It is inherently coercive and will do inherently coercive things. We want it's eventual abolition for a reason. But the reason this debate exists at all is the implication that China's measures are uniquely heinous, which I've seen no evidence for whatsoever.
