    I would be really interested in seeing this research you are talking about and anything to corroborate your personal anecdote.

      It’s funny you mention that. those five Chinese students said the exact same thing!

      They weren’t really interested in the research though because they only wanted to use it as further evidence that my research was wrong because I wasn’t from China and they were. I know this because that’s one of the points they were desperately trying to hammer home. I think it was something along the lines of,

      You can’t know how bad the Uighurs are because you never lived around them. they’re filthy despicable people who only commit crimes because they wanted to. You should visit China and live there to really understand how bad they are.

      I know as soon as I step foot in China, even to this day, I would be taken and never seen again. not just from this one instance, but from a lifetime of calling out the Xi regime and the corruption in China.

      also, what kind of fool do you take me for? I have nothing to prove to anyone on the internet.

      take my anecdote how you will, but we both know you wouldn’t change your mind regardless.

        You’re making a lot of assumptions about me, all I asked for is evidence to back your claims. I don’t know shit about China. Your story just reads to me like a “and then everybody clapped” kind of situation where we write off the chinese as racist and unwilling to fight their oppressors because of how racist they are, and terminate all further thought because we read a compelling story about some guy that did a college report one time and was approached by five mainland chinese that just happened to all be in the same class with him and have all this secret knowledge that nobody is allowed to talk about even though its true and everybody knows it’s happening and everybody agrees with it.
