As US confrontation with China has become more open, the evidentiary standard for any stories about China has headed toward North Korea levels, where we constantly read about people being executed in baroque ways before a couple months before they make new public appearances, apparently risen from the dead.

Oh come on. China has basically been getting a pass from Western media for their concentration camps for Muslims. Probably because nobody on the west wants to look "racist"

They've gotten nothing like a "pass;" the issue has received a lot of coverage.

There was plenty of coverage. The western media went as hard as you’d expect them to in response to that story.
The fact the western governments had their own balancing acts to maintain and didn’t do much still never stopped the media from being honest about it.
