I'm glad he made it to the US. Of course because it's The Atlantic, they were obligated to implicate the US as a co-conspirator: "Islamophobic discourses that gathered strength in the U.S. have been central to China’s efforts to justify its Xinjiang policies". Yeah, of course it's all really our fault, of course.

Keep in mind, The Atlantic is a lifestyle magazine.

After visiting Auschwitz, I expected (or maybe hoped) that the world would never let it happen again.

“How could they do this?”, People asked.

“That would never happen today” people murmured.

Yet, here we are. Reading the 15th article about it, while the White House deletes tweets that likely anger the CCP

They should be removed from most favored nation status.

Governments could do a lot more but don’t

I fail to understand why it is the west that speaks up for these Muslims, whilst the Islamic countries remain quiet. Where is the outrage from Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Iran? Why are the US the ones accused of needing to do more? Shouldn't Islamic countries at least do something?

Have you ever read The Atlantic?

Quite a few of its writers have either been nominated for or outright won Pulitzers, with one winner this year [1]. Even beyond awards, it has published important reporting [2] and very influential commentary [3].

I haven't heard about this. Could you elaborate?

A magazine dangling this important humanitarian story behind a “soft” paywall to sell subscriptions, no less.

Imagine the reaction if they had done this with their COVID collection.
