Whereas in the US, we only discriminate against people based on the origin of their license plate?

Sure, there is discrimination everywhere. Basically, lots and lots and lots of people suck. Most people would not argue that. But this thread is about discrimination in China.

I should mention that you should feel free to post another article about discrimination in the US if you like.

The difference is that the U.S. is not targeting a regional majority / national minority using advanced technologies, and then placing them into re-education camps as a matter of policy.
