Lu Posted May 27, 2019 at 08:34 PM Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 at 08:34 PM Short answer to your question, but not what you came here for: it's true. Longer answer: you clearly have access to YouTube, so you also have access to a wealth of media reporting on Uighurs, Xinjiang, Chinese oppression there, and any other related subjects. Try Googling, reading newspapers, eye witness reports, etc. Generally, Western media do not work on coordinated slander campaigns - they don't really coordinate. That's capitalism & democracy for you. So if you can find various different newspapers reporting similar facts and coming to the same conclusions, you can generally believe those facts. Which is that for six months? a year? up to a million Uighurs (or more?) have been locked up in internment camps. I'm not going to dig up lots of links for you, because 1) it's my bedtime and 2) I'm not going to do other people's homework for them. You know where Google is, so I'd suggest you start there and come back if you have specific questions. Good luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feihong Posted May 27, 2019 at 08:38 PM Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 at 08:38 PM The video is about the internment vamps in Xinjiang. It’s true. You can read a related story from SCMP: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/2167893/china-legalises-use-re-education-camps-religious-extremists South China Morning Post is based in Hong Kong and owned by Alibaba. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibu Posted July 17, 2019 at 03:11 AM Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 at 03:11 AM you could find most of the Xingjiang news on Baidu in Chinese as well, but different source and more different conclusions, apparently news from Google or Baidu based on similar facts with different conclusions. To be honest, I have less confident toward western media than Chinese media. I have google/facebook/youtube access since these service created, do not let me check it again.

As a reminder, this is with the 25 reporters more closely following HRC (aka the future bus) I agree, the disconnect between media and the public is at its greatest its ever been in my view. Take Trump for example, the media backlash against him was fierce and many Americans you talk to have you believe that trump is universally hated across the USA. Maybe the opposing voices are just more vocal about it? However the fact remains he was voted in (same as Brexit in the UK) so the support for him is widespread despite what the media would have you believe. I can see him being reelected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david387 Posted July 17, 2019 at 05:21 AM Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 at 05:21 AM We all have our opinions. I come from a very Republican state, and I can totally understand why they wanted to elect Trump. I live in a very liberal State, and I can totally understand why they would not want to elect him. I understand how a divided China led to one of the largest famines in human history, and I understand why people would support restricting speech that might bring about division. So I suppose my point is that we should understand why people believe the way they do versus trying to go around saying which opinion is right. In the end, it is a deeper understanding that leads to the solution. An interesting study is how Japan from the late 1800s was a democracy that opposed communism, and became increasingly against socialist policies, and as we know ultra-nationalism then took root.

Lu Posted July 17, 2019 at 08:39 AM Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 at 08:39 AM @vellocet, sure, most media endorsed Clinton rather than Trump. My point is: I'm pretty confident these various media, or most of them at least, all came to this conclusion individually. There was not a big secret get-together of the editors-in-chief in which they discussed who to unanimously support. I suspect that if you go back and look at previous elections, there will have been more of a split between various candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted July 17, 2019 at 09:10 AM Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 at 09:10 AM Let's keep the US out of this topic. If you want to start another topic for that, go ahead. But maybe don't bother. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
