  The treatment of Uyghurs and the lack of reaction from the west makes me think WWII was really about money and not people.

    The Uyghur issue is on the other side of the world and entirely internal to China.

    WW2 was an active threat to the rest of Europe, there wasn’t an option to ignore it.

  Sure is interesting that when you click through the links it just leads to dead ends or Adrian Zenz

    Dead ends as in it doesn’t link to other news sites? That’s an odd requirement for a story.

    I was someone who questioned if this was really happening in China several years ago but it isn’t a story to doubt anymore.

  You can tell a lot about a country by how many of its own people they put in jail. I’ve never looked up the numbers but I’m sure China must be the worst, given how much I hear in the media about them repressing people.

    As a percentage of population (incarceration rate) its way way down the list, like 129th.

    As a count of prisoners，its number two. USA is number one.

  Nothing to see here! China is awesome, China does not mistreat any of its citizens! There is no abuse in China, China is not a dictatorship and xi definitely does not look like Winnie Pooh!

  Rahile Dawut’s sentence was confirmed after she appealed against a 2018, according to the US-based Dui Hua Foundation rights group.

  A 2018 what BBC? A 2018 what? Forget to invent that part of the story?

  The only source of names, details, quotes and photos in the entire article is the Dui Hua Foundation, an NGO headquartered in San Francisco and funded by, firstly a random bunch of Scandinavian foreign affairs offices, but more importantly the Smith Richardson Foundation, a front for pouring money into dozens of classic US policy ghoul think-tanks. Like, the fucking Jamestown Foundation, Volcker Alliance, Foreign Policy Research Institute, Center for Advanced Defense Studies, even the University of Chicago. This thing is clearly just yet another little goad for China, and I don’t trust a single thing coming out of it.

  Furthermore, based on the supposed “Xinjiang police files” (more about it here), I feel confident saying that woman’s face is AI generated.

  A series of police files obtained by the BBC in 2022 revealed

  People found traditional Chinese in the documents and bad formatting (link, but will the BBC recant out provide context? Nah, keep repeating the same bs from Zenz and VOC.
