Blanked-out spots on China's maps helped us uncover Xinjiang's camps

There is definitely a distinction between immigration policy of people coming into your country vs rounding up your own citizens.

So, we now just have to believe everything China says because the US isn't perfect? Germany and many European countries have camps for refugees from the Syrian war, but that's not even remotely the same as taking your own citizens into camps and harvesting their organs, hair, etc. Not even close. I am so tired of that comparison, it's lazy whataboutism without even thinking about the context or extent.

I think there's quite a leap from "people are being skeptical" to "we now just have to believe everything China says".
