It is fairly obvious what's going on, because nowadays you can just buy satellite pictures for a few hundred dollars.

And that is not counting the verified reports of hundreds of women raped in the camps, or the pleasant little habit of installing party members and soldiers in the houses of Uyghurs in jail to look after their kids - including teenage daughters.

It is ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide. The Han Chinese are truly despicable.

in order to let gcc use data structures in MS's headers and have somewhat source compatible builds

This is what I fear. I'm just not certain whose source will be "leaking" into whose kernel. Or why, if Linux devs (Linus) have decided up to this point _not_ to adopt a standard C construct, it is now considered to be a good idea.

Are we developing Linux using the Cut-N-Paste culture of Stack Overflow?

You used a whole lot of words to still be describing collective punishment, which is still a war crime under the 1949 Geneva Convention.

But do go on about why that's perfectly fine in the circumstance of a brutally oppressive authoritarian regime and how the "western media" got it all wrong.

Well, you see: the word "socialism" is bad, but the concept is just fine.

See: the Trump Administration seizing the means of production in the tech industry by having the government take a stake in Intel, Nvidia, AMD, etc. while also saying that the medical insurance companies are evil parasites all of a sudden while simultaneously shitting on anyone that dares to talk about a single-payer health care system.

As a step toward application portability between Microsoft apps and Linux systems, maybe. But that seems to be more at the library level. But who out there is suggesting that we need to splice Microsoft stuff (drivers, etc.) directly into the Linux kernel?

On the other hand, it could help in porting systemd to Windows.

it might be better to pay people based on the value they create in the world instead of whatever the market decides

- market is a collection of all people involved, who is better suited to decide on what the value is other than all of the people as a collective vote?

doctor who proscribes pumpkin seeds to cure cancer actually create negative value, yet they get paid quite a lot sometimes, so therefor the market is an ineffeciant way of deciding how much to pay people.

- they are removing the money from the gullible, which may be argued is a better way to redistribute the money (all done willingly even though misguidedly).

people who make a ton of money by owning things but do no work at all, such as heirs to large fortunes

- the market has already decided that the parents of heirs were productive enough, that even their heirs can now enjoy the fruits of the labor of the people who made the money.

Most americans at this point will piss themselves and run away from dangerous thoughts like these.

- dangerous by what measure?
