Please remove this nonsense. Ethnic groups are not cults.
- monocasa 7y agoThey're doing this to the extremely radical parts not the whole ethnic group. Like the governor of the region was a Uighur last time I checked.
- lostlogin 7y agoThey only do it to the radicalised children? Think about what you are saying.
- monocasa 7y agoChildren for radicalised families, yes. Like they're literally dealing with a Taliban like problem. Tons of Uighurs trained with the Taliban as Xinjiang borders eastern Afghanistan.
- tracer4201 7y agoThis is a lie, and I hope you’re banned for spreading Chinese state propaganda. There is nothing here that justifies the internment of hundreds of thousands of people, including children. The Chinese communist party is a disease.
- monocasa 7y agoUhigurs were literally picked up by the US in northern alliance training camps. How is that propaganda?
- tracer4201 7y agoYou’re defending the internment of hundreds of thousands of people including children because some Uhigurs were picked up by the US in Northern Alliance training camps?
- dang 7y agoYou can't attack another user like that here, regardless of how wrong they are. As for "eradicated", obviously we ban accounts that post like that. Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here? We've had to ask you this before, and yet the bulk of your posts to HN are just fine, so I don't want to ban you. I know this thread is a wretched flamewar in which nearly every comment deserves some sort of moderation, but amid all that, this post really stands out. If you're going to walk into the flames like this, please be better than them, not worse. There's no substantive point that can't be made within the site guidelines.
- tracer4201 7y agoI overreacted. My apologies to the community.
- generatorguy 7y agochildren are sent to the camps for praying in public, or wearing a hijab according to the cbc article, which is clearly not extremely radical.
- paol 7y agoAnd Vichy was french. That's meaningless.
- monocasa 7y agoAre you calling China an occupying force here?
- nitwit005 7y agoThe Chinese government must have done a truly terrible job these last few decades, if they have so many radicals. One wonders why people tolerate such abysmal leadership.
- monocasa 7y agoThese are families with heads of households did things like train with the Taliban across the border.
- hamsapelea 7y agoLet them rot. Is there ANY country where these fanatics have not infiltrated, any? At least china does this right.
- nitwit005 7y agoYou're agreeing that they did a terrible job if they allowed the Taliban to infiltrate the country on such a large scale.
- monocasa 7y agoDo you think the west would do any better if the Taliban were literally on the border?
- nitwit005 7y agoIf you don't want me thinking China's leadership has done a poor job, don't insist on a story that requires it. I don't know if the West would succeed, but other countries have certainly dealt with terrorism problems without building giant camps and tossing much of the population inside.
- nordsieck 7y ago> The Chinese government must have done a truly terrible job these last few decades, if they have so many radicals. One wonders why people tolerate such abysmal leadership. The answer is pretty simple. Prosperity. The living standard of the average Chinese person has improved dramatically over the last several decades. As long as that level of prosperity continues, most Chinese people will tolerate quite a bit from their government.
