    Your first link describes how well they treated their captives. They are practically saints!

      You do realize the US has the biggest prison population (also used for forced labor) in the entire world?

      I would take the claims with a grain of salt. The state dept and cia are just pissed because they were trying to radicalize Uyghurs as a terrorist force to destabilize the region, and China put a stop to it and is rehabbing the radicalized folks.

        Textbook whataboutism. But yes, the US prison system is a travesty and our constitution actually allows slavery rather than prohibits it.

        Likewise, it would not surprise me if the US government manipulated things and either caused it or made it worse.
