> It is my opinion that fake news and such are an important problem and it's prevailing in Chinese social media. I do believe freedom in press is great but freedom with no regulation would be very dangerous.
I agree with that, but of course, it then depends on what the regulations are.
> I'd feel terrible about those people, of course, but ONLY IF THOSE CLAIMS ARE TRUE.
Fair enough. Even if we may disagree about what is or isn't happening, I'd rather we agree on that and not the rest, than the other way around.
> Why would Chinese government even care about put muslims in Xinjiang into concentration camps? What would they gain from that?
To practice things that can be extended to the wider population maybe?

What would anyone gain from making all that up?
> Re-educations are just a way of making extremists less extreme.
How come people just disappear and nobody knows what happens to them?
Okay, so you don't think that's what's happening, but can you say how many people have been re-educated? How long does it take on average, how many are currently detained, how many have been released? Have there been any injuries or deaths? Are these questions even raised, much less answered? You don't owe me an answer to any of that, but that's why I think what I think.
> I do bring up "Western media" a lot because I am so frustrated with them bull-shitting about China and that they successfully influenced people's opinions with tons of single sided stories and disinformation.
I don't like what many major media are doing in general, so I don't really disagree. But saying it's all biased and therefore made up, could also be used against anything the Chinese or any other government says.
