Out of the box Western media reports about Xinjiang
The western media reports said that China is practicing genocide and also putting the indigenous Uighur population in concentration camps.

China has rebutted these allegations as lies and fabrications.

Instead, it has produced videos and statistics to show that the indigenous  population had grown and the living standards have improved remarkably over the past decades.

Which side is true?

My common sense tells me:

a. There is a need for China to act against the spread of terrorism and separatism, especially when foreign parties are suspected to be instigating the unrest.

b. China probably encourages the indigenous population to go for job training and be economically productive. Most of these training programs are attended voluntarily by young people who wants a better future. They are not "concentration camps" or "forced labor".

The "imperialist" countries probably wants Xinjiang to separate from China as it has vast mineral resources. 

 I believe that the narrative from the western media may have some element of truth but are mostly exaggerations and outright lies for malicious purposes.

Vote - do you agree with my view?
