I don't understand how so many countries would not ban together to stand up to China. Why won't they do it? This literally seems like a modern day concentration camp without the death.

Business matters, you know, and CIA doing their work to get more bargaining chips.

One of those things that puts me closer and closer to the edge of misanthropy. I mean, Nazi Germany just happened not more than a hundred years ago. We, the different countries of the world, are supposed to already know how this kind of things unfold and that we should not just stand here watching!

In this regard, it's logical to conclude that all leaders of this world is helping China, such a strange world.

That's a weird word game to play. So you are pointing out that the government supports there own policy? In this potentially makes it not sinister? Yes, the obviously make an attempt to normalize their policy, just like every government does with every policy. The problem is what they are doing is wrong.

I am surprised that the Chinese government so openly admits to behavior much of the rest of the world finds horrifying. I was also commenting on how people deny the camps exist even when the Chinese themselves admit they exist.

They don't admit it, they whitewash atrocities by saying the camps are for "re-education".

> which China says exist for the "re-education" of the Uighurs and other minorities. 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.

Okay. Other people might like to though. And I don't despise you for having an opinion.

It's interesting how common to see on somewhere like reddit "if Hitler was alive today I'd go shoot him/whatever/blah blah blah" but I think the general sentiment that people wouldn't stand for another holocaust today is pretty widely accepted.

And yet here we are with it happening in plain sight and it doesn't seem to bother too many people.

hard to believe the police released them AND handed back their passports after all these horrible things

Do you mean it's hard to believe as in you don't think it's true or hard to belive as in jeez, the police really have some balls on them for doing that.

Articles like this making the news says otherwise. It's hard to defend the CCP when they imprison people for no other reason than having a culture that's different from the CCP.
