given a choice between their style of mass incarceration vs the US’s mass incarceration I would pick China. At least i’d have employment and an apartment on release instead of fines that i have to pay or be charged with another crime and a record that bars me from most employment.
Knowing the CIA, probably. Not like they know anything but race. All they can do is make petite bourgeois. creating a separatist movement is old tactics
the cia has been funding "east turkmenistan" (ETIM) separatists as they do with weapons and propaganda (feat. osama bin laden) for decades, which has culminated in a series of deadly attacks on regular people in xinjiang. this has made it unfortunately necessary for higher security in xinjiang >
and deradicalization programs, most just civics and chinese lessons and vocational training. racist liberals who suck off the us state department have been disingenously calling this a genocide as if anyone actually believes they give a shit about muslims
Funny thing, the CIA has spent the last 40 years cultivating a Uigher separatist movement. It's actually surprising that the Chinese crackdown on this wasn't more violent.
It's not a good situation, but the US isn't blameless here.
lol. Especially if you are a Uighur. The pumped crazy amounts of money into and created tons of jobs in Xinjiang specifically to deal with this he extremism problem. They used DEI to solve terrorism.
Actually only 117 of them were in ISIS, the majority of them were in the NATO trained TIP, who were affiliated with JaF. They were Salafist, but anti-ISIS and anti-Assad.
the fact that there have been many, many, many inspections from many organizations and muslim majority countries and none of them find any evidence of this happening
Also it's in response to claims that the entire subject is cia propaganda. I'm open to the idea that Aljazeera is entirely a cia op, but you'll need to prove that with strong evidence.
I think I'm just reacting to the tankie take that "China is not genociding, it's just re-educating citizens to live the way the state decides that should."
I guess I'm on the odd position that I think it's a tyrannical government of any type that gets to dictate to its citizens how they live.
yes, teddy here is an american "journalist" that regurgitates cia propaganda. this garbage article is filled with weasel words and outright fabrications, never mind gigantic amounts of missing context

I think it's good they did that. Some of their tactics seemed a little heavy handed from 2017 to 2021.
