The accusation of concentration camp is exaggerated and there is no credible hard evidence. This report is highly questionable. That is my opinion and what we are debating now.
Human right issues in Xinjiang? Yes. I am not questioning that.
When we talk about concentration camp, it is always about large number of families.
Also, a concentration camp is not defined in terms of families/women/children confined in it, there were many concentration camps in history that captured individual members of families, who were not ideologically aligned with a totalitarian regime of that time and place, the whole soviet Gulag system was built on secrecy and minimal exposure to public, when individual members of your family might not get back home from a grocery store one day and just dissappear into unknown destination.
Now when people talk about concentration camps, they mostly refer to the camps of Nazi's or the US's for Japanese Americans during WWII.
I mean that is the most insidious side of the concentration camp accusation against China.
Reliable source means established entities like media or research institution that verify what they get. I would name New Yorker as an example, which manages to maintain very high standard of professionalism.
Ive also saw some footage of non-Uygur, regular Chinese, albeit poor who were agressively being beaten by police. You Chinese are coward for letting them beat you like that. Maybe you’re well connected and untouchable is all I can think, otherwise you seem somewhat informed, you have access to the outside world and can see for yourself what is going in in your own country. Be human!
I think you got lost in feeling angry for some footage that shows injustice but forgot we were debating evidence for concentration camps.
Injustice happens everyday and everywhere. Chinese people feel the same and we have our channels and ways to address those issues, otherwise there wouldn't be a functional society, which is a fact no matter what you say about China.
And you are wrong to think Chinese people just eat up what injustice that are imposed onto them. Chinese people protest always and rebel always in the past and now. You need to teach yourself more of China's history and Chinese people before rushing emotional comments.
I don't have 100% certainty but I highly suspect you're paid by the CCP to mitigate any damage to their image. If that's true then it's also very pathetic.
It takes more than just disagreeing to prove your point, and no - those camps shouldn't be called prisons, because prisons existed as separate entities at that time and the abbreviation "gulag" contans a word "camp" in its definition.
Next, where's your verifiable proof that New Yorker is a reliable source of information?
And this report doesn’t look like the WMD in Iraq provided by CIA based on the secret intelligence shtick. This is an open investigation and is still ongoing. As far as I can tell it is credible but we both have the right to our opinions
> If you read this report thoroughly, you can find out it just shows there are this sort of buildings in Xinjiang but no logic or proof that they are concentration camps and there is no evidence at least in the report that the buildings are in use.
