Huh? Pretty sure Guantanamo Bay is still open to this day. Not on the same scale nowadays, sure; but the CCP never claimed freedom as part of its core values either.

Reading comprehension really is a struggle sometimes. They specifically mentioned scale in their comment. Also, I kinda feel like being open about genocide doesn't make it better.

They also compared Japanese U.S. internment camps during WWII to the current suppression of Uyghurs in China so maybe take what they say with a grain of salt.

You think reeducation camps to kill a culture are different?

You think Japanese camps were to kill a culture?

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

I think the camps for the Uyghurs are.

Do you think the current treatment of Uyghurs by China is comparable to treatment of Japanese people in US internment camps during WWII?
