Yep, China has already figured out how to work with its Muslim minority.
- dragonsh 6y agoMuslim minority is treated worse by USA with the treatment of Palestine and its own Muslim population, same goes for India. So it will be better if we want to protect minority apply same standards for everyone. As I said like China is imperfect in treating its minorities with differing opinions (Tibet, Uighur, Hong Kong and Taiwan), so is many large democracies be it USA or India (where majoritarian politics works the same way as China, trampling on the rights of minorities finding loopholes in systems and bypass all safeguards with majority support). We all have a right to disagree with Chinese system, but don’t have a right to force it on majority of Chinese who believe in their own system.
- christophilus 6y agoLol. Nope. I know plenty of Muslims in the US. Being arrested and placed in a concentration camp hasn’t occurred to them as something to worry about. We’ve made plenty of mistakes and have a ton of discrimination still, but China is on a different scale of atrocity.
- DiogenesKynikos 6y agoAt the risk of descending into a mud-slinging fight, I'll just point out that the United States has been fighting non-stop wars in Muslim countries for nearly two decades, killing hundreds of thousands of people. The US government cannot credibly claim to occupy the high ground here.

- dang 6y agoAttacking another user like that is a serious violation of HN's guidelines and will get you banned here, regardless of how wrong another comment is or how strongly you feel about it. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here. I've written about this many times: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=true&page=0&query=by:dang%20astroturf https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme.... But the special case of people feeling entitled to attack others because of their views on China is important to single out. HN is a highly international community. It has users all over the world, but also many users who are outside their countries of origin, and users of ancestry from all over the world. It is natural for people here to see these issues very very differently. Our job as a community is to have space for that, not try to exclude violators of our preconceptions. Since HN's demographic is overwhelmingly Western, there is usually a pro-Western consensus in the comments (though it gets complicated, since many Westerners hold anti-Western views too). I don't see that as a problem, but it becomes a problem when consensus slides into mob behavior, which your comment unfortunately exemplifies. People have been hounded off this site in ugly ways and attacked for their ethnicity here and I don't want us to have any part of that. Indeed if the question is framed that way, I don't believe you or any other decent HN user would want to have any part of that. The trouble is that we slide into it without intending to.
