    This is from 2019:

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Could it be because they are Muslims that the world is not in an uproar? I suspect there are those who wish we could do the same.

          I guess just because the news doesn't carry it much doesn't mean there is nothing going on.

            ""Xinjiang affairs are purely China's internal affairs. The U.S. has no right or qualification to intervene arbitrarily," she said in a statement in China's state newspaper the Global Times."

            Of course we have the moral obligation, based upon what happened in the 20th century, to. . . stomp our feet in the West as if that makes any difference whatsoever.

            But if anyone asked me what to do, my response would be "beats me." What can be done, to actually make a difference for those hauled into the camps?

              China needs to be returned to international pariah status.

                @Mik said in Meanwhile, in China:

                China needs to be returned to international pariah status.

                Just remember these videos when China criticizes US immigration policy.

                  I have read quite a bit about the ongoing repression of Kazakh and Uiygur muslims in China in the non US press. There was even PBS Frontline special about it a couple of months back. Pretty well done I thought. Interesting though that all the Kazakhs interviewed spoke only Russian - even to their kids when at the playground. Odd, eh?
