I was surprised to learn that there had in fact been acts of terrorism and beatings/killings of many Han Chinese by Uyghur muslims and that is the reason Xi set up the....er..."atheist conversion" camps. The documentary was very partisan in its condemnation of Xi and China yet at least exposed these acts of racist/intolerant/fundy violence perpetrated by Uyghurs.
I must confess I had no idea about any of them before, and just thought the "re-education" camps were brought about "out of the blue" as it were, and I read the "news" every day. Bias, thy name is (most) media.
Thoughts?
Collective punishment is unjustified in any circumstance, just as it was in 1942 when we Americans rounded up a few hundred thousand Nisei and incarcerated them for the duration due to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
