      we know people are not forced into labor. we know that there are no forced sterilizations

      we know that hundreds of people have been murdered over the years by Uyghur extremists in Xinjiang

      are you saying this isn't evidence of the existence of a militant group?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkistan_Islamic_Party

      "The TIP are believed to have links to al-Qaeda and affiliated groups such as the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan,[235] and the Pakistani Taliban"

      "The Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) is an Islamic extremist terrorist organisation seeking the expulsion of China from "East Turkestan".[230] Since its emergence in 2007 it has claimed responsibility for a number of terrorist attacks,"

      France also has been dealing with a spate of beheadings and terrorist knife attacks recently, and France also has re-education camps for terrorists in their country

      PRC is not jailing anyone, unless they're convicted criminals of course. And the vocation training centres are voluntary to join in Xinjiang

      https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/7/30/china-most-people-in-xinjiang-camps-have-returned-to-society

      this situation has been defused by CPC's actions & the will of the Xinjiang people to move past the extremism & backwardness and into the more integrated future

      Sounds like you're the one in denial lol

      did you know that the US also kept Uyghurs in Guantanamo as suspected terrorists?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_detainees_at_Guantanamo_Bay

      Uyghur spooks were also used to torture other Muslim detainees under American custody, except America did all of this in contravention of international law & human rights observations

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rushan_Abbas

      Uyghurs are now moving away from that precipice of radicalism & accepting a better deal from the PRC to receive uplift & social & economic development

      agreed. people forget the insane number of Uyghur fighters who volunteered for isis. the real question for leftists is how we choose to respond.

      my take away on this nation-wide struggle session is that literally not a single western nation has the legitimacy to act as a defender of the islamic faith. US based liberals currently see the DOD and their intelligence agencies as fighters of humanitarianism. the Iraq war and all the brutal sanctions that came before it were merely a bump in the road for them.

      a part of the reason why this is such an effective tactic is liberals seem to have their trust in the war ministries restored after 5 years of russian concpiracy theories. today they once again think they're a force for good.

      all this shit is gonna result in is a cold war.

      China is not the enemy is all that I can say. They are a nation that is in the process of figuring it out whereas the western world is in the thick of an ideology that became redundant two centuries ago.

          actually it's cynical & not reflective of the facts on the ground to compare Black America's plight with that of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. I would really say it's the exact opposite

          Uyghurs have always had autonomy & legally recognized protected status & statehood in PRC, something Black Americans still yearn for in their country

          Black Americans in certain poor & deindustrialized areas do not have any such prospects, whereas Uyghurs voluntarily join these vocational training centres & are given uplift and are integrated into the economy & society

          https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2019/08/512399/uyghurs-freely-join-re-education-camps

          Black people in many areas in the US actually face far worse demonstrable discrimination & violence by the state than any Uyghur

      Having laws is also a massive campaign of detention, you're just repeating blood libels
