China isn't invading any Western countries and so we will take no action that could threaten our wallets. We've spoken to the Council of Wallets and they've said relations with China are excellent.
Are they putting them in "concentration camps" because they are muslim or because they are separatists? The headline seems to imply something ( like ww2 nazi germany scenario ) that is not true. Wouldn't it be more correct to say they are putting uyghurs ( or uyghur separatists ) in "concentration camps" rather than muslims? That's bad too, why escalate it to muslims? Because the largest muslim ethnic group in china ( the Hui ) are not being put in "concentration camps".
I don't condone putting anyone in "concentrations camps" or "reeducation camps", but reuters, like many of their british counterparts, are playing a dangerous clickbait game at best or a dangerous propaganda game at worst. The worrying part is that they know better and yet this still did this.
I wonder if reuters ever had a headline "Britain mass murdering muslims" when britain helped invade libya, iraq, etc. Or did they choose a more benign, neutral, or even pro-british headlines instead?
US has probably killed more Muslims than any other country in the last few decades (and is still occupying Muslim countries) and is trying to act like the paragon?
>defended his use of a term normally associated with Nazi Germany as appropriate, under the circumstances
US also had concentration camps at the same time.
There is something else going on here. It has nothing to do with trying to protect a minority group.
I don't understand the whataboutism happening in response to this article. Countries do bad thing sometimes, the US most certainly does. But can we not just be happy that there's some visibility being created about bad acts/actors regardless of who's reporting on it?
These camps have been going on for too long and are still under-reported. Most of the people I've talked to about it still have no idea this is going on at all.
