      Firstly,

      You’re an ignorant westerner whose entire knowledge consists of fifteen seconds a day of headlines drip-fed by your state-controlled media, and the link you sling at me is from fucking Wikipedia.

      In short: you are wrong. The Empire’s media lies. The ‘1 million’ number is based on eight (8) interviews conducted by virulent German christofascist shitstain Adrian Zenz.

      Here’s a vlog by a guy who actually went to Xinjiang and talked to people there. Plenty of other videos on his channel too.

      The program in question, which took place in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region was a deradicalization campaign against islamic extremists funded by the west, who had been committing multiple terror attacks every year. People taken in were given education and warned about the dangers of Islamic extremism, especially the (foreign to Xinjiang) Wahabbi form of Islam exported by Saudi Arabia with the help of the US. Who, by the way, deradicalizes Uyghurs by blowing them up. After conducting the most humane and effective deradicalization program ever, the western backed extremists are gone and even western media has to grudgingly admit the whole thing is over (in the most loaded language possible):

      The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the most successful proletarian revolution ever, and resulted in near-totally equal distribution of land among the peasantry. Life expectancy under Mao increased at a rate of more than one year per year, to double from around thirty to over sixty. It is the most rapid sustained increase in life expectancy anywhere, ever. China’s two thousand year food problem was solved.

      Luckily your totally unbiased and free press can report such improvements in an impartial manner.

      Dare you read anything I’ve linked? Can you get past your unearned smug arrogance? Or is the parasite attached to your forebrain just too strong?

      If you actually had any love for the people of China, you’d respect their political autonomy and drop this paternal white savior act.
