Huawei is an arm of the Chinese government. The Chinese government has imprisoned millions of Muslims in a concentration camp monitored by Huawei equipments. No amount of trolling can misdirect the sins of a nazi like entity

> millions of Muslims in a concentration camp Can you source this (rather outrageous) claim?

How can anybody not be aware of this?

The West has a system in place to protect people like Snowden?

Are you aware of the government using Snowden's relatives as collateral in order to get him to return to the US? Pretty sure they've been safe this whole time.

The people that know him are protected. And that is definitely worth noting. But I'm far less confident that he would be treated fairly.

Nice, Huawei Finally pointed this out, so the next step is hopefully somebody pointing out the difference. There will never be a Snowden in China. You can guarantee their life, or their love one's life will be held hostage. So not only does the "West" ( So to speak ) has a system in place protecting these people, they also have a system to vote them out and elect a new form of government should the ultimate worst com…

I disagree.

The reason there will be no Snowden in China is primarily that China doesn't hide its spying, and secondarily becaue China does not maintain the pretense of moral superiority on international scale. Snowden-type leak from China would not change the way Chinese citizens perceive their government, and nobody else would care, much less exert outside pressure to change things.

Leaks and whistleblowers will happen, though - they do happen even in most oppressive of regimes.

(Also excuse me, but I don't believe US wouldn't try to exert pressure on you through your loved ones in a case like this.)

It is possible for them to be bad as well as America. In different ways and also similar ways. This doesn’t excuse them, any more than it excuses the US — and I can say this about any nation whose history I have given more than a cursory glance.

lol, you really think the American citizens will vote out the government or impeach their president because they act unethically or immorally? I'd love to know what you're smoking.

The question is not if they will, but if they can.

Not one of those sources in the Wikipedia article had any evidence other than news articles about one UN committee member saying she saw evidence of it being 1 million people in camps. Not firsthand, just reports.

Every other article on the fact repeats this. Nearly a dozen citations and it's all just news articles about the same story.

I tried searching for the UN committee on racial discrimination tabled documents but couldn't find anything.

Is there any serious estimate of the number of people actually interned in these camps or is it all a game of Chinese whispers (pun not intended)

I have witnessed firsthand how indifferent mainlanders are to these things but think the original comment has merit.

Where's the actual non biased numbers?
