It’s not reckless. It’s a pretty fair assessment in my opinion. If I were willing I could back it up but I’m afraid I’m simply not, it was tiring enough to quickly go through this and pull up these horrible events for each month.

I want to clear up that I’m not saying that any of this is good. The process was definitely a highly repressive one and that is inarguable. What I am getting at here is that it is important to understand what was going on and where these terror attacks were coming from (CIA operating in afghanistan) to understand why China responded the way it did.

Where am I getting the “it was the CIA in afghanistan” part from? Watch Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Chief of Staff to the Secretary of State at the time, he talks about it from 20:53 to 23:12 (just 2 minutes).

You can say this, but I don’t know if that’s even remotely true, not that things stopped happening, but that it was casual

It wasn’t casual lol. It was compulsory and there was resistance from some to begin with. Staying at the facility Monday to Friday was mandatory which certainly wasn’t something people were happy about, but they were allowed to go home at weekends. There are some tourist interviews where this is discussed, I seem to remember and Israeli tourist who did a lot of content on his visit to Xinjiang but finding the exact video and part I would be looking for is a needle in a haystack.
