#2I've posted this a lot, but I think it's important for those who claim Uyghur camps are some sort of Western propaganda. This site documents primary source evidence of victims in Xinjiang. Testimonies from families and friends, court documents, photos, etc. Information on specific camps and seeing victims by city/village is newly available. What's happening there is horrible and consists of many human rights violations.

Even China does not deny the camps. The disagreement almost seems to depend on whether "re-education" is considered sinister. In the West? Obviously. In China? That is apparently a normal thing to admit to doing.

#6This needs wider awareness. Communism is awful in every form. The Chinese government is not guiltless!

It's only normal in China because if you speak against it you and your family are disappeared. So, not really normal. The CCP can admit to a lot of bad things under these oppressive conditions.

#9Wikipedia reports that Han and Uighur are mutual friends socially in their home region (around 70% and 80% reported some relationships), and also notes some historical issues, but nothing contemporary. Why does China govt hate them so much, uncut version?
Re: Uighur camp detainees allege systematic rape
#10It seems like China ought to face economic consequences for this at least, assuming it's true (which I don't have any reason to doubt).
Hopefully Biden does something substantive, and ignores any consideration of the optics of being "tough on China" when that was Trump's thing. This and how he deals with the Myanmar coup are going to be big early tests of what his foreign policy is going to be like.
Social media companies probably have some influence one way or the other over how this plays out, but I don't have much confidence in them to consistently make good decisions absent significant social pressure. The Chinese market is big, and if access to that market depends on assisting government censorship, then they may see that as the cost of doing business.
What can individual people do? The obvious answers are to lobby their elected representatives, donate to good causes, and buy products preferentially from companies that are speaking out and not from companies that are complicit. Is there any other kind of non-obvious activism that can work?
