#2“ Governments including the U.S. have denounced the treatment of the people inside the camps as "genocide" and "crimes against humanity."
Yet the question remains: What else can any nation do about it? I lament to say that unless it starts hurting the flow of iPhones and cheap products from China, no government or corporation has an incentive to speak up and take action

#3I have some clear evidence that "Saddam is developing WMDs" to sell you.

Why is this even a hard question? Tim Cook is apparently fine with using Uyghur slave labor. Why should we care about his bottom line?

It’s really easy to make flippant statements like this when neither you, nor anyone you love, nor anyone you even know is being subjected to the terrors that many Uyghur people face on a daily basis.

#6How can any consumer boycott China? Mailing my representatives gets a cherry letter telling me they're very concerned and working on this matter! Then I watch cspan and not a word gets said that could ruffle a single of xis hairs. Perhaps direct action is needed? A Boston tea party except China cargo celebration perhaps?

Same can be said to your statement about the people in the middle east we have yet to stop bombing. I don't think growing that list is a good solution, but for a nation whose main export is 'defence' weapons, it should be obvious why it's ever-growing.

If Tim cook comes out hard against China wouldn't the board just replace?

...so let's go bomb some other people and force a government of our choosing on them. That'll solve everything. Oh, and because those people will love their new government so much it'll have to be propped up by our military indefinitely.

#10Another report based on BBC news stories we have all read.
It's all one giant Wikipedia circular proof.
There is clear documentation of people used in this report changing their story multiple times over the years. Which since none of the stories are corroborated, is an issue.
But this report doesn't even look at the way the news stories are changing over time. It's to lazy to even do that.
China is not North Korea. It's not even close. Original research is not hard. But each report must be bigger than the last.
