    ur just arguing for the sake of arguing

    i know that you know it is a false equivalency---force-fitting a square into a circle---
    to lump the Uighurs situation w what's happening in HK and Macao
    natives of Turkestan Are of the Asian race, no ?

    what race do the Turkestan natives belong to?
    Uzbics, Chechnyians are of the Asian race, no ?

    what race do the Uzbics, Chechnyians belong to?

    just like the Tibetans who, for the most part, keep their culture / language intact;




    fwiw, to a lesser extent,

    the Jews/Koreans/Vietnamese in China are being counted as Hans,
    even tho they keep their culture / language intact. there are synagogues in China​

    Curious what leads someone to create the hashtag "#BeMoreLikeChina" in a political discussion in the United States?

    Forget about racial and ethnicity classification based on formal and common usages , in China it's simple :
    Hans vs anyone else. those who are not Hans will have their ethnicity on their identity cards, which limit what Education,zone,work,hotel, service they will be allowed to have access to or what method of police surveillance would be enforced, even if they do speak only Mandarin hence speaking/teaching /practicing their culture is a felony

    u do know that in China,

    Jews, Koreans, Vietnamese are considered Hans, as per their identity cards, no?


    what's happening in China's Tibet Province runs counter to your convenient claim

    have you noticed yet ! they are labelling them as benign vs. the malignant Uighurs, Magnolias and Tibetans!


    it's a nice touch, placing roses over their graveyard

    We’ve reached a point where people feel it’s ok to openly say that want to put Muslims in camps to unteach their religion.

    Yeah, I've never head someone wanting us to be more like China. Maybe with the economy, or green energy? But definitely not on human rights or quality of life.

    Turning the desert into detention camps

    Reuters worked with Earthrise Media, a non-profit group that analyzes satellite imagery, to plot the construction and expansion of 39 of these camps, which were initially identified using publicly available documents such as construction tenders. The building-by-building review of these facilities revealed that the footprint of the built-up area almost tripled in size in the 17 months between April 2017 and August 2018. Collectively, the built-up parts in these 39 facilities now cover an area roughly the size of 140 soccer fields.
