And Uyghurs have to flee China just to speak out against this practice. Do you see a lawsuit coming in China?
Huge difference.
- dleslie 6y agoCanada had sterilization laws up to 1972; and the link I provided was to an article about that class action lawsuit. ;)
- hkmaxpro 6y agoI don’t think it’s fair to compare China today with Canada almost 50 years ago. A lot of things have changed since then. Boston Marathon didn’t have women’s race until 1972. Our expectations today should be higher.

We still struggle to maintain obligations regarding indigenous land rights and safe guarding indigenous culture. Our expectations today should be higher.
