In addition, the level of human rights prisoners get in the US is far beyond what any Uighur experiences. Right to a lawyer, right to appeal convictions, visits from family members. It's really a false equivalency.
Even when policing in the US is so completely racially motivated? Driving (hell, biking/walking/breathing) while black is a reality of the US carceral system.
The last year has really shown the world that US policing and incarceration is completely broken and highly resistant to even governance change (who's in charge of whom?)
I'm not saying what China does with the Uyghur population is right. Just that the US is not far away. Hell, look at the border detention centers.
pair that with the fact that the united states is #1 in prisoners per capita, and it's not hard to come to a pretty dark conclusion...
