And there you have it, another myth running around. Maybe you should actually look into what's really going on with the Uyghur people and the stories surrounding it, then you'll see it isn't as presented by many western media. People seem not to know that a lot of terrorism (actually blowing up buildings, committing murder etc.) is being done by some of the Uyghur people, to which the chinese government has acted. It isn't about wanting to purge Uyghurs and their moslim believe, it's about containing terrorists. But hee, that's not the narrative some western media wants to portray. And yes, like with many places, terrible things happen in those camps, just like the US does with people in places like guantanamo bay (which are deliberately not on US soil so they don't have to obey US laws).
