I guess my main issue with your argument is that I’m not convinced of the reliability of the sources you’ve cited regarding the situation in Xinjiang.

It seems the sources you deem reliable are largely the same sources that Wikipedia, MB/FC, AFM, and the RAND Corporation deem reliable. I have a lot of thoughts about the media and about media literacy.

Despite your criticisms of Wikipedia, I believe the users of the site do a good job of vetting the information that’s there.

They usually do a decent job, less so when reality rubs up against cultural hegemony.

I do think it’s valid to criticize the US broadly, and I likewise think it’s valid to criticize China

Sure, there are no sacred cows.
