I'm not American so I don't really have a horse in that race. But you are comparing how civilians treat each other to how the government treats civilians. To me this is apples and oranges.

I don’t think the Uigyurs would agree with that statement. Particularly the ones that are being raped and re-educated in camps.

Well I indeed know people who are through the reeducation camp, they are certainly changed, for a better mental and economical status. They were practicing some weirdass Sharia laws to their families and friends.

As for the Xinjiang reeducation news, they were originated from Adrian Zenz and a small group of reporters from Australia, who both have never put feet on Xinjiang. How much the whole Xinjiang incident is propaganda, and how much reality, I don't know.

Chinas reeducation camps are the greatest blessing on earth. Unfortunately, it seems several professors and celebrities remain intransigent inspite of years of reeducation. They fail to properly absorb Xi Jinping thought, like so many CEOs have done. They must not be allowed to graduate from the camp unless they are properly reeducated.

>How much the whole Xinjiang incident is propaganda, and how much reality, I don't know.

Such a shame.

That's blatant slander. Think about the detergent presented as 'evidence of weapon of mass destruction' that led to the invasion of Iraq.

Edit: it unfortunately looks like you've posted flamewar comments repeatedly as well. Would you please not? We're trying for a different quality of conversation here, as you'll see if you read the link I just mentioned.

Because right now the US politicians feel challenged, and they are panicking to paint their competitor as a threat for everyone. This kind of political trick happens all the time.

Why does every post about China ends up about them abusing human rights, stealing etc. etc.

"Whataboutism" balances a hypocrisy when one POS is trying to tell the other POS how to behave and when confronted with facts ends up telling that we are not as bad POS as the other POS.

I do not see whataboutism as mistake/pitfalls. Considering the western media always shot/criticizing first.
