The Soviet Union was never very industrial about the whole thing. They had camps and all but you can hardly compare a Gulag and a Nazi extermination camp. Gulags were prisons, basically. Extermination camps were... well, extermination camps.
China and the DPRK are, to my knowledge, more akin to the Soviet model. People were (and are, in the case of China and the DPRK) dying but it's hardly the arrival-stripping-death sequence of a Nazi camp. In some camps you'd be dead within an hour of arrival. That's crazy efficient and isn't a characteristic of the Soviet, Chinese or Korean camps (to the best of my knowledge)
- gurkendoktor 13y agoOf course it's hard to discuss what's happening inside of China, but this article makes it seem that the Chinese are efficient because they need organs: http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/xinjiang-procedure_610145.html http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/xinjiang-procedure_61... It's the only source for large-scale organ harvest I have found except of course Falun Gong, which I still don't know what to make of.
- MichaelAza 13y agoYeah, I guess we won't really know whats going on in China until it's all in retrospect, eh?
