    I live in China and I’ll tell you you’re out of your God damned mind if you think you can travel to Xinjiang easily / all you want. Also, all your other points are wrong, based on very many firsthand accounts and reporting, plenty all over the net.

      How about we say you’re also from Xinjiang while we’re at it?

        [Sorry for a tangent]

        Don’t we expect to have an increasing number of Chinese people on Lemmy? It’s not controlled by any western government, and they’re ~20% of all people.

          True. Just found it extremely unlikely cuz every Chinese person I’ve interacted with deny western media’s claims. And their claim about it being difficult to travel Xinjiang is just wrong after all; same “restrictions” as any other place in China or most other countries.
