The millions in Xinjiang would like a word. Why do you spend your free time defending a brutal autocracy on the internet?

Because the truth is more important than making up lies to feel good about yourself? Also, let's talk about the "Land of the Free" for a moment...

China's incarceration rate -- for crime -- is 118 per 100,000, for 1,649,804 total. Let's add the DOD claim that an extra 3m are held in re-education camps, and take that to 4.5m, which takes us to 308 per hundred thousand. The US figure is _655_, disproportionately poor people.

Mindless babble and whataboutism. I thought this website had more intelligent conversation..

Comparing an over-zealous drug incarnation against a political political concentration camp is just perfect. Every time I visit Europe I encounter similar lazy thinking from aging leftists and teenage anarchists.

Ironically, President Xi was sent to a re-education camp when he was younger.
