I think he means eliminating the extremists teaching. I don't think that can work for Afganistan. Chinese government provided tax breaks to lure companies to open factories in Xinjiang, the re-education camp is just a small part of the policies, you need to train people skills to have a normal job, the boring part of modern society. There is no hope for Afganistan.

no, Xinjiang is ethnic cleansing: it's genocide. Let's not whitewash it please. For the curious: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-22278037 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-22278037

  Stop re-use words like Nazi, genocide, ethnic cleansing. You can invent new words, like the word terrorism, why not invent some new words for CCP. Would I trust BBC better because they were from the empire who colonized the world so they know bad things since they have the first hand experience? Britain tried to separate Tibet from China before the PRC. Is the situation perfect? I don't think so. Is it better than Afganistan? I believe so. We are happy with what it is, even though it is not perfect. Westerns think they can do better, tried in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Afganistan. I am happy with Xinjiang, and I hope it will develop further. For westerns look at difference cultures as exotic, they want them to stay the way they are, no modernization bullshit, just be whatever you are, be difference, otherwise, where do we go for exotic holidays. I don't think it is helpful in the long term

      Xinjiang, 1,664,897 km2, population 25,852,345, Ethnic composition (2020 Census) 44.96% Uyghur 42.24% Han 15.80% Other • Languages and dialects: Uyghur (official), Mandarin (official) Kazakh Kyrgyz Oirat Mongolian 43 other languages GDP $200 billion, per capital $7,735 I'd say the main argument for the US now is: any problem in China is good for the US, its plan didn't work in Hongkong, didn't work in Tibet, now Xinjiang. You guys care about people in Xinjiang so much now so that you ban import on goods produced in Xinjiang, to make sure people have no job. There is no WMD in Iraq, and there is no genocide in Xinjiang.
