> 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.

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.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership TPP was a big attempt by the US political establishment to economically isolate China with most of Asia. Unfortunately, because it was also designed to bypass the US voter, it was not very popular.
I'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 violatio…

> it doesn't seem to bother too many people. 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.

I say this as potentially the world's biggest disliker of communism... this really has nothing to do with communism.

Trust everything you read on the Internet, sure.
Why don't you petition the PRC government to open up the area to trustworthy reporters and to cease reprisals against locals who speak to them? You claim you're Chinese, so that's your right per Article 41 of the constitution. Pretty much anyone out of Xinjiang who criticizes the government has increased credibility because of all the attempts to suppress information. If you think this group has issues, your bitching…
Your point of view is that the western world represents absolute justice, and you can judge us based on your value system, this is not the case, at least from our viewpoint.

> I am surprised that the Chinese government so openly admits to behavior much of the rest of the world finds horrifying. They don't admit it, they whitewash atrocities by saying the camps are for "re-education".

It is sinister because re-education camp is a euphemism for concentration camp.
You: You have concentration camp! you're evil! China: No we have re-education camp. You: Ha, busted, you admit the camp existed, and re-education camp is concentration camp.
I'm out.
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 .
