more likely than not they are deradicalization centers - ie reeducation facilities
the us government has spent billions to radicalize the uighurs over the past 30 years. cant remember the name of the program. they wanted to create their own version of alqaida in western china but china was like, no, we aint having that
Right, I acknowledge that, although China unfortunately also had a hand in the radicalization effort: Blowback season 4 goes into it a bit, they wanted to poke the USSR so they actually helped fund the sources in Afghanistan that later backfired into Xinjiang. But like I said, they’re dealing with a real security problem.
I would still say that an ethnically delineated camp is probably too broad of a response, but I’m also not one of the people that got stabbed. Maybe that’s bourgeois decadence for me to think. Deradicalization appears to be very difficult to do while abiding by the convention on human rights, a more humane and successful attempt at what China is doing doesn’t come to mind.
At any rate I am skeptical of the nightmarish cartoon version you normally hear, I wish there were more robust third party organizations that could be trusted to investigate something like this without being weaponized by the US or some wacky fundamentalist. It’s just that there’s a lot of room between “a genocide of Uygurs” and “everything is totally fine.”
