Blanked-Out Spots On China's Maps Helped Us Uncover Xinjiang's Camps

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/alison_killing/satellite-images-investigation-xinjiang-detention-camps

Interesting research on this, via buzzfeed of all places

BuzzFeed gets a bad rap because of how clickbaity and awful big chunks of the site is, and tbf, I hate BuzzFeed.

But they have broken legit news before/lead investigations. Kinda funny.

I've been seeing a lot more commentary on reddit and other places of how bogus these detainment camps are lol. CCP doing work out there on the internet

Tibetans are next

Have they ever engaged with foreign policy though? BLM is mainly a domestic thing, so I'm not sure this is actively excluding the Uighur situation, I just think they never took up an issue that wasn't domestic, right?

China Uses Rape as Torture Tactic Against Uighur Detainees, Victims Say

When do we start caring about people's lives more so than profit. Make them pay for this and corona

Mate, Ozil just by making an instagram post criticizing China's Uighur persecution got banned from the first team and eventually let go. China has done many, many disgusting things to the world and will continue to do so, and I'm afraid nobody will hold them to account because they want their money.

The US loves to bring "democracy" to the Iraqs and Afghanistans of the world. France as well. but when it comes to China, they are as silent as a crypt.

There must be a breaking point somwhere. Perhaps seizing Taiwan by military force will be that although that's too little too late.

Biden announced a new Pentagon taskforce on China so maybe he will learn from former lying presidents in that matter.

It is already too late, China is a heavily armed nation of over 1 billion citizens, and it's a nuclear power, WTF are we supposed to do if they decide to invade Taiwan? Send fucking Voltron?
Nothing we can do. Could sanction them, but TBH by now we rely more on them than they on us.

Exactly, we rely so much on them. How would we live without an Iphone?

I think human rights are important, and genocide is bad, don't get me wrong, but a line has to be drawn when it comes to ensuring the smooth running of our consumerism.
And I think humanity has firmly drawn this line, the choice is clear.

iphone factories are scattered around the world and they could easily shift most of the production outside of China and have them be assembled in Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore or wherever.

Personally I think boycotting businesses associated with internment camps is a start, which can be followed on with bans on those products if govts gets it's act together.

Well I'm already boycotting Apple and Amazon but I sincerely doubt any of you are or would be

so there you go, concentration camps it is

Personally I've stopped buying clothing from brands associated to internment camps

Apple hasn't been linked to them as far as I know

Which brands are they?

A couple people "boycotting" Apple is not going to make any difference. The big boys need to undertake a coordinated effort.

Its like saying people recycling will solve all environmental issues. No it won't.

Every person makes a difference

Demon beat me to it but this is the source

Basically if it's not miUK, miEU or miUS chances are you can't trust the supply chain, and even in those instances the cotton might still be sourced from Xinjiang
