  >> I don't recall any US prison in the last 70+ years where people on the order of a million people, largely from a single region or ethnicity, were imprisoned on suspicion of mere affiliation. > coughinternment of japanesecough cough2022-70=1952cough That was also like three generations ago: there are a lot of things that happened in the US at that time that the US itself now roundly condemns. You may return with this comparison when the PRC makes a formal apology to the Uyghurs, pays reparations, and teaches about the Xinjiang camps in schools as a shameful event of Chinese history.

  When China shuts down their internment, officially condemns it, gives restitution to the interned, and stops censoring any education, discussion and criticism of their internment on message boards in their own country but instead welcomes it as part of the self-correcting mechanisms that allow a nation to continually bend towards greater justice and not repeat the old injustices, then the situations will be equivalent.

    Let me remind you that a number of US states is fighting to introduce censorship of education, because apparently teaching objective truth is "anti-american".

      And yet you can openly criticize those actions, mobilize people to fight against it, file lawsuits, create and distribute alternative resources to continue to educate about whatever is being censored, and no one will stop you.
