Only one of those links was about Muslims. One was about the terrible conditions in labor camps that even Han Chinese are sent to, and another was about the jailing of human rights and defense lawyers for doing their jobs.

I don't care what nationality advances science, but I do want unabashedly authoritarian regimes to be at a technical and scientific disadvantage to ones that at least pay lip service to human rights.

Lip service indeed. We imprison our own at 4x the rate they do, and spend all our surplus capital on bombs and guns while they build trains and bridges. 2 of the past 3 Presidents had less votes than their opponent.

But hey, we've got lip service!

Not that there aren't problems in China. But people should check their biases and learn some history before advancing radical hot takes.
