The Chinese government has in recent years established many concentration camps in Xinjiang, or in their term, “vocational re-education and training centers”, for imprisoning local ethnic minorities and dissidents. Unlike regular imprisonment or detention, people are held here without any prior court trial The period of their imprisonment is no longer determined by courts but becomes endless.

    You’re right. They should just let terrorism run amuck instead. Or take the American route and bomb the region into the stone age rather than re-educate those that can and imprison those that can’t.

      Seems “logical” to imprison all people for their ethnicity, because some might have terrorism tendencies.

    Kudos, this guy took a big personal risk trying to reveal what’s not supposed to go public.

    I feel sorry for people who have to live under such a despotic regime. Now with China’s economy starting to fail, it’s becoming increasingly repressive, and the outlook for citizens is bleak.

            The problem is, whether true or not it is irrelevant. If we talk about China’s despotism, the propagandists can only seek a diversion because they don’t have a way to defend the immoral actions of the Chinese state, so it’s all, “Look at that man over there!” It’s childish and it works on idiots, of course.

          There’s nothing to defend in China, only brainswashed Americans who guzzle propaganda all day think that China is the problem when their own shithole country is destroying the whole world. America will always build a better idiot.
