What about the 1-3 million people in Chinese concentration camps (excuse me, "re-education camps")?

  1-3 million? That seems like a pretty big range of uncertainty. What are your sources?

    This estimate gives 1.5 million [1], this gives 1-3 million.

  For perspective on that number, there are 2.2 million African Americans in prison camps.

    First, that number is simply incorrect. It is about 1/4 of that number. Second, while America has a serious prison issue (the highest incarceration rate in the world? really??), the current state of affairs of African-Americans isn't really comparable to the treatment of Uighurs, Tibetans and Falun Gong practioners.

      Fighting whataboutism with whataboutism. Nice.
