    I’d take the study a lot more seriously if the people financing it weren’t literally tied to the US/UK governments…

      We’d all take China a lot more seriously if it wasn’t literally interring people in reeducation camps and ruling over people’s lives like it’s 1984.

        You need to catch up with the narrative, rheyre claiming the crackdown is over now that tourists are coming in and not noticing anything.

          Man it’s almost like the vast majority of tourists stick to coastal cities and big urban areas where the Uighur population isn’t and not the vast desert that these camps and people’s exist in.

            Wait, do you think there aren’t people who tour Muslim cultural sites, of which there are many? Do you not think that anyone ever goes to interior spots? In the US, the rocky mountains and the Appalachians are both used a lot for tourism.

            Do you think there aren’t uyghurs in the cities in the region?

            It sounds like you dont know anything about the situation and are trying to justify already held beliefs by making rhetoric that doesn’t really apply to the reality of the situation.
