Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah, so where are the 500+ square miles of camps that would need to exist to host that many people. Literally where? You don't have satellite pictures of any facility or group of facilities that large. That's half the prison population of the US' prison system, which covers thousands of square miles.
No. People in prison have prison sentences with determinate amounts of time. Also if they were held 'indiscriminately' they would just be prisoners?? Like?? Discriminately imprisoning people is the claim being made by the US. That they're being locked up for their ethnicity. Or sometimes religion. If they are being held indiscriminately then China isn't doing anything wrong regardless of how many they have locked up...
TikTok is a US owned and operated company, and it also has a website. It is also by far the largest social media website and the largest source of news for populations under 50.
TikTok is majority owned by Oracle, and for US audiences is run off of Data centers in the US owned by Oracle, who has complete and total control over content shown to US users. The App's source code itself has been audited by the US federal government and Oracle as a part of reversing the ban on Tiktok.
At no point was Tiktok Chinese owned. Singapore, despite your people's best efforts to claim otherwise, is not a Chinese city.
You're so racist you thought a Singaporean app owned by a US company that has been audited by the US government is chinese spyware.
Get some amount of medical help. I recommend going to China, who can offer you psych care for less per session, including flights and hotel stays, than you can receive in the US.
China is an authoritarian regime that has great powers to restrict the information available to international observers. There have been several data leaks that have given us an insight into what is currently going on in the region. When I say up to a million that is the higher end of the estimate, others estimates put it at hundreds of thousands. We need estimates because the Chinese government blocks and tries to stop information from getting out of the region. The Chinese government does not have the best reputation for truth telling and transparency. In terms of maps and satellite imagery the Xinjiang data project does a great job documenting the detention and "re-education" facilities it has found, as well as the destruction of sites of significant cultural heritage to the Uyghur people.

But these are, as claimed by the Chinese government "re-education" camps. They also hilariously try to claim that they are voluntary.
This refers to the manner of their detention, they are held without proof of a specific crime, evidence or a proper trial. If you are going to police language at least understand what you are talking about or else you just look like a fool.
This is only true if you live in the USA, tiktoks parent company, Bytedance was forced to sell about 80% of the American arm to American investors. I and most of the rest of the worlds population do not. Bytedance who's headquarters are in China run tiktok international. The Chinese government has access to all of the data on their servers and retains a 1% golden share of the company. Next you are going to tell me Facebook is a great source for news with no CIA influence. Why do you think the Americans forced Bytedance to sell tiktoks majority US ownership to them? Because they know exactly how they exploit Metas data themselves.
Good man, if all else fails play the racism card, right! Bytedance is a Chinese company, Zhang Yiming is not from Singapore last I checked?
I'm ok buddy, I live in Ireland where medical care is both free and among the best in the world, top 10 anyway. The only place I could really go to get better care would be somewhere like Taiwan who are typically ranked number 1 for healthcare. I'd just as well take my chances in Russia over China for healthcare!
Nice source you base your hate on.
From https://xjdp.aspi.org.au/about/:
From Wikipedia:
What are the overseas governments, defense and technology companies, you never wondered before?
They also have an office in Washington, D.C. In short, it's a western nation-state and capital funded, crappy propaganda source.
When your government is doing clandestine dystopian things the information vacuum will be filled by your enemies. Who else has pockets deep enough to finance the hard work of the academics involved? Your adversaries have something to gain by painting China in a bad light, why would they miss an open goal like this?
We know China is lying about the existence of these camps, the satellite image is clear as day. There are multiple other sources on this, the one I gave is just the easiest to use.
What do you think is happening in the reeducation camps of Xinjiang, really? Do you deny their existence or do you go along with the Chinese state line of "voluntary vocational training."
