I completely agree, tbh. I don't understand why people are defending this violation of human rights. Which it is, regardless if they're beating people or not. They're abducting people without cause and keeping them till they're ideologically indoctrinated. They admit this, even in the video OP linked. This is very obviously a vile control tactic. To defenders of this: I critically support you in your fight against American imperialism, and in your fight against capitalism, but to defend this is to violate your principles and I hope you come to realize that.
What would be your solution to the problems of extremism, terrorism, separatism, poverty etc that are present in Xinjiang? I am not trying to be snarky, I am genuinely curious about what would be the better way to handle this.
I don't have a better solution, but at least what the Chinese government is doing has a chance of working and improving the lives of the people of Xinjiang. What you are suggesting is doing nothing, let extremism keep spreading and with it terrorism and separatism. And for what, an irrational commitment to the protection of individual freedoms that don't really make anyone more free?
It would be preferable if there was a way to educate people without having to force them to do it, which is why I was asking your opinion. But doing nothing is not a solution either.

I would simply not abduct people without cause. If people are doing a terrorism, I would arrest them. Simple as that.
Well that's probably the most lib take I have seen on this site so far.
Well, what would you do if you were Xi? I'm sorry for offending you with that take, I'm not the most knowledgeable.
