Uyghurs are "their own people" and the USA has far more of its citizens incarcerated than China does.
The US has a ton of problems, I'm not saying it's a great country to live in necessarily (I wouldn't move there given the choice). But it's not a dictatorship where laws are optional for the government.
Maybe freedom doesn't mean anything to you when you're not the one being reeducated though.
Neither is China. Also lol at saying laws aren't optional for government in the USA.
Again, the USA has vastly more people incarcerated than China.
What are you talking about?
Again, what are to talking about? China is a democratic country.
Neither does China, though the USA does have several times more people incarcerated, including in concentration camps and torture black sites.
You absolutely do. Not to mention edicts from the private entities that own both your government and your media.
