Basically weird hopeless reactionaries trying to hook onto a popular movement. You're probably right.

A Chinese online gambling worker's plight in Manilaquote:He’s gay and broke, and his family wants him to marry one of their neighbor’s daughters. Wei, not his real name, has had it with his life in conservative Yunnan, a province in China. quote:Wei said living in Manila has its pros and cons. He is able to afford clothes, eat good food, and afford an iPhone X – considered a status symbol. quote:Less cash than expected and more work hours have been bittersweet for Wei. quote:Lucio Pitlo, an expert on Chinese studies, said that the Chinese government “absolutely hates” gambling.

So it demonstrates that the state knows that extrajudicial prison camps are bad, because they aren't bragging or admitting to the things hundreds of eyewitnesses have described. Publicly available local government documents also show bulk orders for things such as cattle prods, which is totally normal in a humane facility Vocational training is nice, but US prisons also teach classes and no one's trying to pretend they're schools. Also, what kind of an economic impact does the average low-income family face when their sole breadwinner is sent to prison for a year or two? Anyway, I apologize earlier for misinterpreting their "no such thing as re-education centers" statement as a denial of their existence

je1 healthcare posted:Publicly available local government documents also show bulk orders for things such as cattle prods, which is totally normal in a humane facility The document vox cited comes from claims made by a sketchy group in turkey whose only web presence is a facebook profile. They have never been made publicly available- AFP just claims that they examined them. You cannot see them for yourselves. Unlike the stories western media ran about "social credit" (which ended in favor of the "concentration camp" campaign) that linked to original source documents in mandarin which could plausibly be construed as supporting "social credit." The AFP ran that story once last year and it got picked up thousands of times in the western media as "original reporting" even though most sources just reposted the AFP story wholesale.

AFP has a bit more web presence than a facebook profile. Would they lie about examining 1500 Chinese documents? You can ask the author of that AFP report if he made anything up, although he works for the NYT now Also the social credit stories never quite stopped, there's still articles being published about it every week. But they're somewhat muddled since China has multiple social credit systems limited to certain regions. je1 healthcare has issued a correction as of 03:50 on Jun 14, 2019 |

"education can be used as a means of political indoctrination" is less a take and more a bare tautology without really considering what exactly it is that's being taught
