Do we care about the Xinjiang police files?

[BeBMan]

Discuss:

Yes, because gross human rights violations are bad.
Yes, because the systems of surveillance build around this are pretty Orwellian.
Yes, because it gives us/US/west/whatever a n opportunity to take the moral highground/apply political pressure
No, because them Uighurs are all muslims.
No, because them Uighurs are all terrorists.
No, because us/US/west/whatever should sort his own dark chapters in human rights violations first.
Whatever.
Banana.

At least Kid was interested in China. If only to implicate Biden in some evil Chinese cabal...

Uighurs are not chinese

They are, they are not Han Chinese, but there are many Chinese that are not Han Chinese.

Uighurs are Uighurs.
It is only 80 years since China annexed East Turkestan.

I care, but I already knew that China was not a good place. Currently it seems like Russia is more actionable because they are attacking another country, it is a lot more difficult to get involved in internal manners.

I do think that one of the ideas behind globalism, if we trade then every place will become better and the world will become better, is not 100% true. For sure, it has made things better for some Chinese and it has probably reduced the likelihood of war in the area. But ... now war becomes more likely. And other groups of Chinese and non-Chinese don't have better lives. And we lose a lot of control.

In some way I think it is better if we were trading with our allies or people who want to be our allies.
