I guess 30 years of peace and prosperity was too much for people to handle.. we can't just read our history, we have to learn the hard way.

I dunno... a travel warning about a country with over a million people currently in camps seems reasonable.

We have about 1/4 their population and over 2 million people in prison I'd think people visiting the US from China should be the ones that are worried.

And increasingly willing to throw people in those camps for less and less.

Which country? U.S. immigration detention camps had close to half a million people at one point.

According to YouTubers fitting the description, lots of ex-patriate westerners have been leaving China in recent months. The climate there has changed from tolerant/friendly towards westerners to "we don't need you."

(serpentza and laowhy86 on YouTube are how I became aware of this.)

prison =/= forced labor camp for political prisoners or Muslims

I have yet to see Trump arrest the hundreds of thousands of people who marched against him and send them to perform slave labor in Alaska. Or arrest members of the media or opposing political parties who criticize him
