Comment on EXCLUSIVE: Naomi Wu and the Silence That Speaks Volumes

Never heard of her, but why can't her partner (Kaidi?) leave? Can't they sneak across the border and start a new life I dunno... in Europe, Australia, Japan, or something?

Kaidi is Uighur so racism is why she cannot leave.

  I'm not sure I understand... why would the Chinese keep somebody they are racist against in the country? To continue being racist against them? Wouldn't they want them to leave? Or are they being treated as free labor?

    Because they want to limit the amount of information the rest of the world has about China’s racist policies against them.

    Every victim of suppression that leaves is a possible dissident operating from abroad

You’re looking at it from a logical view,

The answer is pretty much that her partner is a minority that the state hates, so they want to punish that person and anyone who supports her,

And it’s just that. Perhaps they could escape, but I presume they both have family there, and then they may not be able to return, etc.
