In what sense does a high rate of incarceration help the United States “system” though? This feels like a tenuous connection.

- justicezyx 5y agoI am not an expert, I dont know how a government benefits from abusing their people. I dont see CCP doing that systematically. But apparently many think CCP just like to abuse Chinese people, even if there is no data to support it. Maybe US government is with hidden agendas that requires abusing people inside prisons?
- pgwhalen 5y agoIsn’t it generally agreed that China is actively committing genocide against its own people? If that’s not systematic abuse, I’m not sure what is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide
- justicezyx 5y agoYou can search Youtube and see youtubers' visiting to Xinjiang, and even the sites of the so-called genocide events. Draw your own conclusion. I haven't been in Xinjiang in my lifetime, I have no idea what really happened. I watched CNN, ABC, and many western news reports, and CGTN's reports, and a lot of Youtuber, like and dislike China all alike. I had my own opinions. But I see no reason to present them without myself setting foot on the region.
- random314 5y agoYes, of course. No sense in presenting opinions without setting foot in Xinjiang with the blessings of a carefully monitoring government. Sure many celebrities and professors have disappeared for the last 2-3 years and China is trying to compel expat Uighurs to return to China. But I don't want to present opinions without setting foot in china. There are too many reports of Chinese soldiers entering homes whisking husbands away into educational camps and sleeping with the wives. But irrespective of all these stories, I am firmly in your camp about my opinion. I see no reason to present my opinion without myself setting foot on the region.
- justicezyx 5y agoWell, let's not be cynical. Speaking truly and frankly. You are expressing a lot of opinions. I indeed reserve my judgement on CCP, as I know that I know very little about the entity. You may or may not interpret that as complicit to them, or whatever. But please do calm your mind, and see into the facts, and the reasoning behind the emotions. I am not asking anyone to be correct. I am asking rationale.
