Hi mui,
Thanks for all your fine comments, and for taking the time to think deeply about what’s going on. What a contrast to the non-existent level of debate that you highlighted regarding the Uighurs being “terrorists.” Idle minds thinking in soundbites …

They would stop us and say it was not our culture, and put us in jail for it.” He also explained, “For the females, if they have [more than] one child, they open them up and throw the baby in the trash.”
Interesting. I know of a village in S. China, where the commie officials allow one “mistake”. If another “mistake” is made, then their house is burned down.
