I am seeing the same thing. It seems to me an attempt to demonize the country for war or "us vs them" purposes. One major focus that i am seeing possibly overhyped is the Uyghur "camps" thing. The US government and its corporate media are suddenly just so concerned about this and i haven't seen many images or anything to really back it up. Anyway, it seems 9/10 articles that make the news now are just negative, and it seems the frequency of articles is suddenly much higher.

I think it's called lead by fear, something politicians/leaders are good at all throught history. Not only in China mind you. The Trump campaign is full of it, just as the nationalist movement in Europe.

The Associated Press, Wall Street Journal, ChinaFile [0], Foreign Policy magazine [1], Deutsche Welle, Amnesty International, and various academics have all done great independent reporting on the subject, if you care to look. Shawn Zhang [2] has done extensive open-source satellite image analysis to locate and identify many suspected camps. If you believe in gravitational waves, the speed of light, and DNA, all things whose existence can only (for most) be directly observed and described by trusted experts, then trust the international press when they say something's going very wrong in Xinjiang.

  I just feel like i'm being programmed to be pro regime-change in China. I don't trust Amnesty. Amnesty International co-founder Luis Kutner seems responsible for snitching on Fred Hampton and for his death and US "human rights" organizations seem like they are basically the CIA. Amnesty also published the debunked "Sednaya" report full of lies about Syria. The Xinjiang articles came up all of a sudden, up until just recently i had only ever seen one article about Xinjiang. The new articles seem to suggest Islam is being eradicated or something like that when it's simply not true. Here is another article i've seen that is more pro-china: https://dailytimes.com.pk/238763/how-xi-jinping-tackled-radicalism-in-xinjiang/ https://dailytimes.com.pk/238763/how-xi-jinping-tackled-radi... . It's not a lie that Xinjiang did have a "scourge of extremism".
