    Looks like a jail or prison of some sort, they have those in every country on earth so idk why you think they would care particularly who sees it, also no way for us to know where the pic was actually taken so kinda pointless for you to post it like this

              official numbers from China have half a million detainees listed, until they stopped publishing detainee information; most estimates agree that the number of uyghur detainees in total is closer to 2 million.

              12 million uyghyrs / 2 million uyghur detainees, ~1 in 6 uyghurs have been or are still detained.

                Close to everyone here has been asking you for sources. If you’re going to provide numbers, you need to provide sources. People like @[email protected] have given you large, well-sourced and thoroughly documented comments, if you respond with “sources” like “it’s widely known” people are going to rightfully dismiss your claims.

                    In this entire thread, you’ve provided a podcast from The Economist, a British Propaganda outlet explicitly promoting free-market liberalism and demonizing any country that goes against Western Hegemony, not just China. You should slow down and actually respond to comments, if you can’t dignify questions with a proper response, then you can just not respond. Refraining from speaking on a subject you know less about is better than digging a deeper hole for yourself.

            They’re saying you need to provide evidence of that claim. All you have here is a photo of a guy in custody.

              people got so excited that the sources are kind of spread out in all of their comments by this point.

              that photo isn’t all of the sources I’ve listed, it’s just the first piece of evidence in this thread.
