Are they putting them in "concentration camps" because they are muslim or because they are separatists? The headline seems to imply something ( like ww2 nazi germany scenario ) that is not true. Wouldn't it be more correct to say they are putting uyghurs ( or uyghur separatists ) in "concentration camps" rather than muslims? That's bad too, why escalate it to muslims? Because the largest muslim ethnic group in china ( the Hui ) are not being put in "concentration camps".
I don't condone putting anyone in "concentrations camps" or "reeducation camps", but reuters, like many of their british counterparts, are playing a dangerous clickbait game at best or a dangerous propaganda game at worst. The worrying part is that they know better and yet this still did this.
I wonder if reuters ever had a headline "Britain mass murdering muslims" when britain helped invade libya, iraq, etc. Or did they choose a more benign, neutral, or even pro-british headlines instead?
