#15The international response to this has been bizarre, and several majority Muslim countries consider this an 'achievement': "In July 2019, 22 countries including U.K., Germany, France, Spain, Canada, Japan and Australia signed a joint letter to the UN Human Rights Council urging China to close the camps in Xinjiang.[27][110] In reaction to this, 37 countries including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, UAE, Sudan, Angola, Al…
I find it pretty remarkable (and scary) that the international community is much more comfortable calling out the USA on human rights abuses than it is China (e.g. the world pretty uniformly opposed moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem).

The Jerusalem UN vote reflects views about the disputed status of Jerusalem rather than anti-Americanism.

#20One thing I never hear people discuss, is the best way to combat terrorism.
So, let's agree that reeducation camps are terrible and inhumane, what is a good solution?
