For years, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has pushed ethnic minority groups like Tibetans and Uyghurs to adopt an identity rooted in Chinese nationality and allegiance to the ruling Communist Party.
Now, that push has been codified into a sweeping new law that reaches into classrooms, neighborhoods and homes – and gives Beijing the right to target people outside of its borders that it believes violate its rules.
The statute, officially known as the Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law, came into effect on July 1. It bans acts that “undermine ethnic unity or create ethnic division” among China’s 56 officially recognized ethnicities, which include a Han Chinese majority that makes up over 90% of the country’s 1.4 billion people.
Typical straw man, these are your words and your claim, I have never heard of this or mentioned this? What are you on about seriously?
I am talking about the mass internment camps housing an unknown amount of Uyghurs, possibly up to a million people. These people are being held indiscriminately against their will for an unknown amount of time. Maybe if you got off the brain rot that is tiktok you would understand. Of course I do not have that government spy app on my phone. You think I am propagandised and you tell me to check out a Chinese government propaganda site like tiktok to tell me the Chinese government is doing nothing wrong.
Do you see how preposterous the stupid words you typed are? Then you have the cheek to tell me I’m brainwashed while shilling CCP crap. You live in crazy town buddy, hope the weather is nice there!
… America owns tik tok…
What year do you think this is?
Bytedance, who have their headquarters in China, owns tiktok. America has their own American owned subsidiary company, 80% American shares, 20% Bytedance. The whole world isn’t America buddy.
??? Are you okay?? 80% American owned makes it an American company.

The American subsidiary company yes, this is only true for tiktok in the USA. The rest of the world uses tiktok headquartered in Beijing. It’s not that hard is it? I mean it was all over the news last year. I like most of the world do not live in the USA!
Right… Which country do you live in? You know that the largest user base of tik tok is American?
Aaand you think, if you used the non-american version*, the evil Chinese version, to check out what people say about Xinjiang, you‘d end up being brainwashed by Chinese state propaganda? And you‘re so scared or prejudiced about that possibility, that you won‘t even consider it? How do you actually manage to do critical thinking with that kind of approach?
*which got bought to modify the algorithm, so that US citizens won‘t be able to see the reality of the Palestinian genocide anymore, so with the sole intention to censor and brainwash.
You clearly understand how the Americans can manipulate the algorithm to control the content users receive yet you do not think that the Chinese are doing the same thing to their version.
Then you question my ability to think critically? I love when you guys make fools of yourselves without realising. Typical for a .ml bootlicker, all the chemicals in the boot rubber must make your brains no work good huh?
Thanks for the unnecessary and cringe hate towards your dumb red scare bogeyman, I realize that they could do and likely are doing that, in some ways, generally.
What I‘m criticizing is, that you avoid reviewing your own claims and prejudices about something for which your knowledge stems from western propaganda only. All you do is claim that everything you associate the platform with is brain rot, government spyware, and propaganda. By hearsay. By indoctrination. Nobody’s telling you to use it daily or whatever. You talk out of your ass, which only poops out what you’ve put in before, only browner and stinkier. Exemplary, on a hit piece propaganda post on one of the US’s main media arms, against one of the two major western enemies. About a law that does not do what the piece is claiming it does. I suggest reading the direct translation on this comment thread.
Surely, the Chinese government will censor shit, one can hardly prove a negative. So, if you won’t find what you hoped to see, you‘ll only confirm your prejudice, that it‘s all censored. Meh. But what you could infer, if you wouldn‘t be fueled by your sinophobic hate, is that the people that do visit the region could very well put stuff on the internet, that would verify the genocide claims made by western media. But that’s not really happening. People would certainly try that, as circumventing the Great Firewall is of course possible, but you don’t hear about them disappearing or being jailed for exposing the claims, do you? And if there would be a rare occasion, would you check their veracity, or again take it all in, spoon fed to you, only to validate your hate? At which point will you stop angrily repeating bullshit, but actually start to think critically? My claim is, that you just won’t.
Likely in the same way you never took a minute to research the refutations of the alleged Uyghur genocide, only to steadfastly remain on your indoctrinated idea, that these evil Communists must of course be doing, what your good willing and honest media is telling you and now is replicating anytime it gets a chance to do so.
Thank you, for taking the time to educate, instead of what I do, which is ridicule, lol.
You’re literally eating western propaganda like it’s your last meal, and you call us who are trying to parse through disinformation bootlickers?
Yeah, so where are the 500+ square miles of camps that would need to exist to host that many people. Literally where? You don’t have satellite pictures of any facility or group of facilities that large. That’s half the prison population of the US’ prison system, which covers thousands of square miles.
No. People in prison have prison sentences with determinate amounts of time. Also if they were held ‘indiscriminately’ they would just be prisoners?? Like?? Discriminately imprisoning people is the claim being made by the US. That they’re being locked up for their ethnicity. Or sometimes religion. If they are being held indiscriminately then China isn’t doing anything wrong regardless of how many they have locked up…
TikTok is a US owned and operated company, and it also has a website. It is also by far the largest social media website and the largest source of news for populations under 50.
TikTok is majority owned by Oracle, and for US audiences is run off of Data centers in the US owned by Oracle, who has complete and total control over content shown to US users. The App’s source code itself has been audited by the US federal government and Oracle as a part of reversing the ban on Tiktok.
At no point was Tiktok Chinese owned. Singapore, despite your people’s best efforts to claim otherwise, is not a Chinese city.
You’re so racist you thought a Singaporean app owned by a US company that has been audited by the US government is chinese spyware.
Get some amount of medical help. I recommend going to China, who can offer you psych care for less per session, including flights and hotel stays, than you can receive in the US.
China is an authoritarian regime that has great powers to restrict the information available to international observers. There have been several data leaks that have given us an insight into what is currently going on in the region. When I say up to a million that is the higher end of the estimate, others estimates put it at hundreds of thousands. We need estimates because the Chinese government blocks and tries to stop information from getting out of the region. The Chinese government does not have the best reputation for truth telling and transparency. In terms of maps and satellite imagery the Xinjiang data project does a great job documenting the detention and “re-education” facilities it has found, as well as the destruction of sites of significant cultural heritage to the Uyghur people.

But these are, as claimed by the Chinese government “re-education” camps. They also hilariously try to claim that they are voluntary.
This refers to the manner of their detention, they are held without proof of a specific crime, evidence or a proper trial. If you are going to police language at least understand what you are talking about or else you just look like a fool.
This is only true if you live in the USA, tiktoks parent company, Bytedance was forced to sell about 80% of the American arm to American investors. I and most of the rest of the worlds population do not. Bytedance who’s headquarters are in China run tiktok international. The Chinese government has access to all of the data on their servers and retains a 1% golden share of the company. Next you are going to tell me Facebook is a great source for news with no CIA influence. Why do you think the Americans forced Bytedance to sell tiktoks majority US ownership to them? Because they know exactly how they exploit Metas data themselves.
Good man, if all else fails play the racism card, right! Bytedance is a Chinese company, Zhang Yiming is not from Singapore last I checked?
I’m ok buddy, I live in Ireland where medical care is both free and among the best in the world, top 10 anyway. The only place I could really go to get better care would be somewhere like Taiwan who are typically ranked number 1 for healthcare. I’d just as well take my chances in Russia over China for healthcare!
Nice source you base your hate on.

What are the overseas governments, defense and technology companies, you never wondered before?
They also have an office in Washington, D.C. In short, it’s a western nation-state and capital funded, crappy propaganda source.
