      In any given country there are always groups that are, to varying degrees, persecuted, ostracised or who don’t benefit from the general increase in the quality of life. That does not mean the country isn’t doing well.

        You are of course correct on that. I was merely pushing back on what was looking and sounding like a tankie agenda. But life is steadily getting better in China (based on data that I trust which isn’t that easy to find when it comes to China), which I’m very glad for.

      Many of the same people and organizations that told you that are also Israel supporters. Ask yourself why that is.

      The actual statistics for Xinjiang province show the same quality of life improvements as the rest of China. The Uyghur population is living longer, attaining higher education, earning higher incomes, and their region is seeing constant development.

      Time will tell. A year from now, I bet things are even better. Will your life be better next year? Mine probably won’t.

        mate, i hear you opinion. But your comment and your past comments come in too strong.

        As if you are paid to push an agenda.
        Sometimes it does feel you are a bot account enabling a specific narrative.

        Good luck on future conversations on the internet. Hope you get more considerate

          They aren’t coming on too strong just because you don’t like what they said. You might be a bit sensitive to the topic.

          I do this for free because I’m a stupid loser and I haven’t had friends for almost ten years and I probably never will again and have nothing better to do with my time and it will never get better and anyone who says otherwise is a fucking liar. 🙂

            Sorry to hear it mate.

            Friendships are built on giving.
            Am sure you have that in you.

            I met my bestie while doing a lake cleanup organized by an NGO. Perhaps you can do as well. Here’s to hoping

              Friendships are built on bothering other people. You have to decide that you deserve to intrude on someone else’s life.
