- emptysongglass 5y agoThe forcibly sterilized immigrants you cite, based on the ongoing investigation, point to a rogue doctor from a single camp. This does not excuse these actions but it's such a far cry from genocide that it appears disingenuous.
- michael1999 5y agoI agree with your sentiment about the relative scale of current US and Chinese detention crimes, but you may want to rethink just how genocide happens. It was not official policy to torture children in Canada, and yet St. Anne's residential school had an electric chair. And so Canada refused responsibility, instead deflecting blame to the Catholic Church and "rogue" nuns. Eventually you need to accept that depraved individuals acting with impunity is part of the plan. Consider just how hard ICE works to keep lawyers and journalists away to limit oversight. It is a recipe for abuse. Congressional leadership, and the president were very clear -- dissuasion through vindictive treatment was the goal. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/st-anne-residential-school-opp-documents https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/st-anne-residential...
- AzzieElbab 5y agoExactly. The past is past. Want to dig into what China done in the past too?
