a completely unsourced rant, from the same people that peddled the ‘Iraq has WMD’s’ bullshit.
Some names have been changed.
Was Adrien Zenz one of them?
Yeah I mostly agree, but I don’t think that leaves any of them above criticism. A “necessary evil” is still evil.
Of course we need to contextualize our criticisms properly, and also be conscious of the company in which we level such criticisms lest we serve as aids to imperial interest.
I genuinely can’t think of a better way than ‘re-education’, as long as the conditions are good and it’s done respectfully. Which from what I have seen and heard is how China is going about it, the things described in this article are obviously bad but then there’s no proof that they actually happened and it’s not beyond the realms of possibility or precedent that they would be invented to further western anti-china narratives.
To be clear, you can’t think of a better solution to the prospect of extremism than to inter every single person with a beard or a Muslim family member into forced labor camps? Because that’s what they are doing and the official criteria China claims to use is purposefully vague to the point of being useless.
