#2This info has been around for months, if not years. Glad to see it’s finally coming to light in the mainstream (however Mainstream the New Yorker can be deemed).

#3I definitely hate China's oppression of its minorities. I think we are seeing the true color of a nation that knows nobody will challenge them. When people try to color it by claiming "different cultural norms!" I just think, well if you just want a culture of evil, this is a good way to do so.
Also I have a smaller hate for the scrollamated site, it's so distracting.

#4Given that this is a ycombinator site, has anyone thought about or started a startup (it's a really a product rather than a company, but still) that helps you optimize (say) Chinese products out of your life?

Who's saying China should be allowed to do genocide because of different cultural norms? Sounds stupid to me.

Regarding the site: A big "Yes!"
I subscribe to the New Yorker, and I sent them a complaint about the unnecessary and distracting cruff. It prevented me from reading the article through to the end.

No Chinese products? I believe vegan is possible but no Chinese products? No chance. Not unless you live without electronics. But good idea anyways. Maybe a filter by country so you can optimise American and Israeli products out too.

I just did a quick google search of 'nytimes uighurs' and many articles came up.
Seems like mainstream news has been reporting on it. I know big corps like Disney are avoiding it because of money, but I don't know where the narrative of the mainstream media sweeping it under the rug came from.

None is unrealistic but you can at very least minimise the amount of profit that actually stays in China. Progress is always incremental
