I'm constantly seeing westerners whine about Chinese human rights violations while simultaneously ignoring the HR violations occurring everywhere else, especially in the west. American cops routinely kill people. Yet, how many people have died in Hong Kong because of their protests?

The notion that China lacks 'proper civil society' is in my mind rooted in a western sense of orientalism and good old fashioned racism. I'm no defender of China, but let's recognize that the same nations trying to punish China because 'human rights'(US, UK) are the same ones responsible for killing close to 1 million Iraqis and creating the largest humanitarian crisis on earth(Yemen).

With zero sympathy for Chinese ethnic cleansing, Nazi concentration camps were perhaps a different league. Maybe people never even got to stay there: unloaded at the rail terminal, ushered into gas chambers, then burned in the crematoria.

There is no evidence of this. Please cite a source that is not Adrian Zenz

If you think Adrian Zenz is some kind of fraud there's nothing I can post that will convince you so sources are pointless. Google "China re-education camps" and you'll find hundreds of articles on the subject from news organizations all of the world
