It’s about putting things in perspective.
For example, there is the often cited “1 million Muslims” in jail figure, which seems like a lot. 1 million!
But if know that there are over 2.2 million people in US prisons, then that 1 million figure doesn’t seem so high anymore.
I think providing a full perspective to those who are not as familiar with the topic can add to the discussion.

Making such an apples to nails comparison as the US prison system vs secret Chinese re-education camp is counter-productive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_re-education_camps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_re-education_camps
