    I’m not saying the US isn’t shit with for profit prisons, but I’m not believing shit for any number that China provides on pretty much anything.

      Interesting because the number comes from the Institute for Criminal Research and not China, but go on with your total and complete acceptance of US propaganda and unfound hatred of China.

      To be fair, China is 2nd in overall prison population by country globally, so it’s not like their numbers are complete bs. I’m sure there is some fudging in what constitutes as a “prisoner” when they have had “re-education camps” though. That said, the US’s numbers are fucking insane.

        they have “re-education camps” though

        Do they, though? You, as a champion of human rights in China, are aware that the reeducation camps are closed for years now, aren’t you?

          I’m sure the government that lied about wrongly imprisoning people in the first place is totally being truthful now.

          I wouldn’t take the Chinese or US government’s claims at face value.

              And the information they publish comes from where exactly?

              There is no need for snarkiness, by the way. You act like Im attacking you directly. If this is how you communicate, I’m just going to block you and move on with my life.

                the information they publish comes from where exactly?

                As per the article: “A nine-day reporting trip by The Washington Post through the region…”.

                I understand you’re not attacking me directly, but it’s so exhausting seeing the same talking points of concern trolls like you who have heard on reddit and Lemmy about the Uyghurs, and uncritically swallowed the western propaganda and champion the rights of an ethnic minority in China. And when confronted with stuff you don’t know, such as the camps being closed for years, you jump to saying “according to whom, to the government?” and when confronted with the fact that it’s western media publishing this, you go ahead and go yo claim “where does this come from exactly?” as if journalistic work wasn’t possible or as if the information wasn’t literally on the third paragraph of the link I sent.

              I mean, googling that does not give the result you claimed it would. In fact, it talks more about how they opened up different types of camps instead

                It talks about how they opened up prisons, which is exactly what this post takes into account. There are more people in prisons in the US than in the entirety of China.

                You clearly have done 0 research on this topic, and until 5 minutes ago you believed that the reeducation camps were still open and ongoing, despite them closing years ago. Educate yourself on the conditions of the people who you pretend to care about, or stop with your concern trolling.
