There is definitely more direct censorship of domestic events in China than in the US. For instance, in the US it is widely publicised that the government separates children from adults at the border. Ask Chinese about the Uyghur work camps and they won’t know.
You just made that up. You genuinely have no idea what the Chinese perception of the uyghur imprisonment is. In fact you've gone out of your way to call their prison system a "work camp". I'm not even saying that it's not a work camp. What I am saying is you wouldn't call American prisons a work camp despite also being used for mass slave labor.
Because there are no "work camps" in China
You don’t know what Chinese people do or don’t know. You only know what Western governments and Western corporate media tell you Chinese people do or don’t know.
There’s nothing secret about what happened in Xinjiang. People are well aware of the terrorist attacks and of how the local and federal governments’ responded to them.
Thank goodness for the modlog! You are right on. Just because American propaganda is bad doesn't mean Chinese isn't bad too or that we have to defend it. Everyone should be held accountable.
