#2> over half a million people were trained as part of the project in the first seven months of 2020 - around 15% of the region’s population
In the meantime countries such as Spain “enjoy” 50% unemployment of the young.

Are you suggesting that the Spanish gov't forcibly enroll youths in labor camps?

#4> A notice posted to the website of Tibet’s regional government website last month said over half a million people were trained as part of the project in the first seven months of 2020 - around 15% of the region’s population. Of this total, almost 50,000 have been transferred into jobs within Tibet, and several thousand have been sent to other parts of China. Many end up in low paid work, including textile manufacturing, construction and agriculture.
I guess this is what actual 'oppression' looks like.

#5What China has done to Tibet is horrible.
One thing that is missing from this article is how they are doing this? How are they coercing people? Are they literally dragging them out of their homes? Threatening them? Or are they just offering them opportunities that are actually preferable to their current conditions, and the people are accepting them?

#6Welp, Adrian Zenz strikes again.
If you haven't heard of this guy, he's a fellow at 'Victim of Communism Foundation Memorial', set up and paid by US.
Anecdotally, private businesses in China very much dislike taking in labor transfers (more or less a gov initiative) - because they had to provide housing, specific food (halal, etc), and even religious facilities while paying the same. The labor quality is not nearly as high as one on the market. This is essentially China's answer to increase employment for the remote regions.
Of course they would 'suggest the transfers have coercive elements.' The same pay and benefits simply doesn't exist in the region, why would anyone want to go? /s

Is this a genuine question? I don’t want to be snarky, but you are aware of the fact that government-imposed “mass labour” has almost always meant “forced labor” (I’m sure there might be some punctual exceptions, but the conclusion is the same), no?

Is Roosevelts New Deal 'forced labor'?

Oh, remember the "great opportunities in Siberia"?

#10Han supremacy has all the markings of other supremacist movements and will unfortunately need to be confronted. Not sure when the world will work up the courage to do so, though.
