I will have to watch this.  China doesn't need gulags like the old days, they can use technology to de-Muslim the Uighurs.  They send their kids to China is Good and Best camp for school and watch to make sure the adults are not doing anything overtly Muslim and in 25 years the problem solves itself.

Canada tried that with residential schools, outlawing Indigenous cultural traditions and other things like the 60's scoop. Fortunately Indigenous people are resilient and those measures failed to "take the Indian out of the child".

I think there are many who would disagree with you on that one sync.

That is exactly what I thought when I saw what they were up to.  Change the culture at the level of the children into what they want and then as the generations go by the culture disappears with it.  Like others are saying if Canada had their level of surveillance and complete control over the whole population it may have been very different.  China is not a big fan of diversity to the extent they have tried to erase their own rich history.  It is a lot easier to control a billion-plus when they are all on the same page.

There's no doubt you can say that on an individual level for many people, but not on a societal level.

How do you feel about the idea of curtailing the amount of time your kids spend playing on video games?

China has been forcing social media companies to take down anything negative about their policies towards the Weegers.  Even Apple has caved (although they recently caved on showing Crimea as part of Russia).

Money money moneeey...money!

The CBC noted that the new Chinese ambassador to Canada appeared wearing a Mao suit to present his credentials to the Governor-General, representative of Queen Elizabeth II. In the recent past delegates of the Communist Party of China wore Western-style business suits to such events, so the CBC asked what message might be intended by the return of the Mao suit?

Should I post the pictures of Trudeau and Kenney with CPC apologists?

Fuck the Russians, the Chinese are taking us to the curb.

So you can confirm the Uighur are OK?

Why not just ask the Chinese men going to to Uighur's houses to help "integrate" the Uighur family's while the men are at band camp. At least thats one of the last things I read on the subject.

Also, you're an IT guy - can we check our social credit score yet? Is that what your super vague IT post a few months / half a year ago lamenting how we dont know whats coming was about?
