I haven't seen "reeducation camps" in the west in a few decades
- imjonse 3y agoThat is true, luckily. OTOH, to be fair the west has been good at "offshoring" its abuses for quite a few centuries.
- caditinpiscinam 3y agoThe US imprisons tons of people, with a strong bias towards certain races. Are our prisons meaningfully different from "reeducation camps"? Are they any less biased, brutal, or damaging? You can argue that prisoners in the US are "criminals", but states can call whoever they want a criminal.
- xcdzvyn 3y agoThis is totally ridiculous. China is literally committing genocide. They are kidnapping innocent people and harvesting their organs.
- Animatronio 3y agoWhat is ridiculous is that China is vigurously criticised in every news outlet in the West on every occasion, while the French gov't gets away with almost everything. Can you explain that?
- bunga-bunga 3y agoThey’re literally protesting right now in the streets in France, so I don’t know what you’re talking about. No country is a saint, but you should stop with the whataboutism.
- bunga-bunga 3y agoYou may argue that drug users should not be incarcerated or that there's bias in finding such users, but this unfortunately happens in most of the world and in China. You or your children can end up in the camps for praying in Xinjiang, it's not exactly the same thing.
