    You can tell a lot about a country by how many of its own people they put in jail. I’ve never looked up the numbers but I’m sure China must be the worst, given how much I hear in the media about them repressing people.

      As a percentage of population (incarceration rate) its way way down the list, like 129th.

      As a count of prisoners,its number two. USA is number one.

    Sure is interesting that when you click through the links in the articles it just leads to dead ends or noted evangelical crackpot Adrian Zenz

    Rahile Dawut’s sentence was confirmed after she appealed against a 2018, according to the US-based Dui Hua Foundation rights group.

    A 2018 what BBC? A 2018 what? Forget to invent that part of the story?

    The only source of names, details, quotes and photos in the entire article is the Dui Hua Foundation, an NGO headquartered in San Francisco and funded by, firstly a random bunch of Scandinavian foreign affairs offices, but more importantly the Smith Richardson Foundation, a front for pouring money into dozens of classic US policy ghoul think-tanks. Like, the fucking Jamestown Foundation, Volcker Alliance, Foreign Policy Research Institute, Center for Advanced Defense Studies, even the University of Chicago. This thing is clearly just yet another little goad for China, and I don’t trust a single thing coming out of it.

    Furthermore, based on the supposed “Xinjiang police files” (more about it here), I feel confident saying that woman’s face is AI generated.

    A series of police files obtained by the BBC in 2022 revealed

    People found traditional Chinese in the documents and bad formatting (link), but will the BBC recant or provide context? Nah, keep repeating the same bs from Zenz and VOC.
