We have about 1/4 their population and over 2 million people in prison I'd think people visiting the US from China should be the ones that are worried.

- tossaccount123 8y agoprison =/= forced labor camp for political prisoners or Muslims I have yet to see Trump arrest the hundreds of thousands of people who marched against him and send them to perform slave labor in Alaska. Or arrest members of the media or opposing political parties who criticize him
- blacksmith_tb 8y agoI only wish that was true[1]. Of course, that does nothing to let the Chinese government off the hook for imprisoning and 're-educating' their Uighur citizens. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_labor_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_labor_in_the_United_Stat...
- gruez 8y ago>I only wish that was true[1]. he said >for political prisoners or Muslims Penal labor is bad and all, but equating what china's doing with what's happening in the US is giving china too much credit.
- blacksmith_tb 8y agoI wasn't trying to give China any credit, what they're doing is reprehensible, no doubt about it. I was suggesting that the situation of African-Americans in the US prison system[1] is less different from the Chinese example than we'd like to think. 1: https://www.naacp.org/criminal-justice-fact-sheet/ https://www.naacp.org/criminal-justice-fact-sheet/
