I agree, we're not Chinese citizens, and there's no way we can "force" change on the Chinese government anyway whatsoever (especially after the trade war and the Corona virus crisis)...

​@Wandering Philosopher I guess we could stop bringing the topic in a manner that makes Chinese decision makers all protective and defensive...

I really don't know how we can do that, but I just know that there should be a better way to solve this situation I hope people in the Tibet and Uyghur region, all people in all China and outside of it can enjoy a good happy care free life, with no oppression and no hardship imposed on them...

I feel so bad for the Uyghurs being held in concentration camps in China, it’s so infuriating that nothing is being done

[@melissamallen2589]

@@Cassxowary wait really can you tell me about this I didn't know they were held in the U.S. too

[@a.e.a.]

@@melissamallen2589 İ guess she's referring to the detainees in Guantanamo Bay and similar facilities (several of them being Uyghurs) which are held captive under inhumane conditions whilst never being granted the human right of fair trial. Furthermore they are objected to different forms of psychological and physical abuse like sleep deprivation and water boarding. The innocence of countless former and current inmates has even been admitted by the government but no US president was able and/or willing to close Guantanamo and other blacksites. The bare minimum of ending torture within these illegal institutions seems to be out of the question as well. As an Turk living in Europe I'd suggest that Americans should stop lecturing people from other parts of the world and start questioning and opposing the actions of their government. PS: I hope you oppose the aforementioned practices. In that case my comment is not meant to atttack you in any way, please use your democratic rights to fight for change within your country.
