it's a nice video. Xinjiang is beautiful and his Mandarin is impressive, but I don't get the title.

The popular tourist spots and common light topics of conversation are exactly the China and Xinjiang they want you to see.

This is the Xinjiang they don't want you to see:

The Xinjiang they don't want you to see is someone being walked in cuffs?

Yeah, literally no other country in the world imprisons people. How dare.

[–] bitofarambler@crazypeople.online -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

actually, literally all other countries imprison people.

Detainment is a much wider problem than you think.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. Sorry, I thought that was obvious.

Looks like a jail or prison of some sort, they have those in every country on earth so idk why you think they would care particularly who sees it, also no way for us to know where the pic was actually taken so kinda pointless for you to post it like this

this is one of the Xinjiang "reeducation" camps.

not really, they're indefinite detainees whose families are scared for them.

like 1 in 6 people in the region.

it's not very cool.

The "They" is those who are anti-China who politicize views/definitions of genocide. It is a dangerous rule for lemmy subs to have "never question genocide propaganda". Some CIA/nazi supporting subs/posters will make the case that showing Xinjiang normalcy is Chinese propaganda.
