You were in the wrong loop. It was a hoax. Fake news, propaganda, whatever you want to call it.
After the US tried to radicalise Uyghurs in Xingjiang, the Chinese government responded not with bullets or bombs like the US wanted, but with an education programme that has now ended. Everyone is prospering in Xinjiang. Multiple independent visits have taken place and nothing was ever found. The only witnesses all turned out to be CIA. Like this funny example.
Get better loops. You should start trusting the media waaay less, especially about geopolitics.
Whoa I definitely was out of the loop. Thanks for actually discussing with me and sharing some insight. You’re the only so far!
Sorry about that, we get a lot of people coming in here and acting in bad faith, not actually interesting in learning, but just telling us we are all evil bad guys for disagreeing with them. Xinjiang is usually a focal point of that, as that is the loudest (though far from the most well sourced) anti-China narrative right now. So we can be a bit aggressive when someone asks questions that sound very similar to someone just here to be annoying and obnoxious.
Thanks for not just dismissing everyone outright because some people were being rude!
No worries, I understand! People can be defensive. I just honestly don’t know that much, and appreciate a dialog.
Then you're welcome here! It might be a good idea to add a little statement like (I'm not trying to upset anyone, I honestly don't know and would like more information.) to comments prevent this sort of thing happening in the future.
Sounds like a plan!
