China is not innocent by any means, but I sense some hypocrisy from those that arrogantly think they have a higher moral ground here. Pretty much every country has their own "Trail of Tears", even the progressive and almighty Canada only closed their oppressive Indian Residence school systems recently.
Are we supposed to boycott everyone then, and go back to hunting and gathering?
- throwaway894345 6y agoSurely you can appreciate the distinction between countries that stopped their ethnic campaigns and those that persist, right?
- cardy31 6y agoThis is such a bad take. Just because something bad happened in a countries history doesn’t mean it excludes them from speaking up about human rights atrocities for the remainder of their existence.

- christophilus 6y agoThis is a tired argument. It’s not hypocritical or unreasonable to expect better behavior out of governments around the world. And certainly in the case of China, it’s an old enough civilization that we should be able to expect its barbaric Trail of Tears days to be long past.
- powerapple 6y agoWhy 'China is not innocent'? Yes, China is not Europe, and it is not US. So is its per capital GDP. so is its business. so is it brands. so is its industry. I wouldn't trust BBC at all on these reports. Journalists could use facts but they choose to lie again and again. At the same time, the British government is playing their game. Coincidence?
