Yeah: mass transit (transit) into camps (housing) for "re-education" (education), with the chance to get forcefully married to a real Chinese man (social mobility), or end up having your organs harvested (healthcare)

Do you have any idea what happens in China outside of the limited view presented by journalists who have never stepped in the country?

Do people really need to know more? I don't think there are any virtues that could make up for China's treatment of Uyghurs and the people who try to save them.

A lot of stuff. But that your point basically boils down to "not all of China is about genocide!" is more than enough to know that it's not worth my time arguing with you.

"affirmative action that China takes on its minority groups" good god, have the balls to call it what it is dude. China is doing a genocide. If that doesn't bother you, that's your deal, but at least own up to what you are defending
