    hilarious how the Uyghur shit basically boils down to "they have prisons!"

    ok America, are we anti prison now? oh wait, no, only anti communist prisons. Prisons in america are freedom, prisons in China are oppression. I do love when Americans pretend to give a shit about the same ethnic groups they will bomb the shit out of in the blink of an eye.

      only insofar as americans in that situation, if they were honest with themselves, would just have them all extra-judicially executed by the police lol

      Not even prisons. ABC interviewed a Uyghur souvenir seller who spent 6 months in reeducation:

      He denied any mistreatment at the facility, claiming he ate well, played chess and read books and was even allowed to go home on weekends.

      I can't think of any kind of prison that lets inmates go home for the weekend.

        In Scandinavian prisons this is definitely a thing
