- Fake News, said verbatim
- Journalists are lying about mistreatment in these camps, and reports of people asking to leave - including video of people saying they want to leave - are wildly out of context reports being pushed by the biased Fake News media
- Concern for China's handling of these prisoners is steeped in foreign interference to make China look bad
- The Uyghurs are violent and radicalised, and they're being housed at these facilities to give them a more lenient sentence than throwing them in jail - strong "rapists and murderers" vibes

China is taking cues from Donald Trump. All this doublespeak and barely coded language is now being picked up by a nation that harvests the organs of its political prisoners, and would rather crush a country like Hong Kong or Taiwan by force instead of letting these nations have their independence.

The Chinese government has been shit ever since Mao Zedong raped the country, destroying hundreds of years of Chinese culture and keeping the poorest residents of China in poverty while he reaped the benefits of their work, and with Xi Jinpeng we've seen the culmination of China's authoritarianism - a lack of public freedom, attempts to punish thoughtcrime, brainwashing of the masses, idolization of a single leader - combined with attempts to one-up the world's economy through the mass accrual of wealth at the expense of an underpaid workforce, and the monopolization of as many different industries as possible to hold power over the economy.

But it turns out that no - all of that is just Fake News. They're just cracking down on radicalised minorities who espouse a culture of violence that is incompatible with modern Chinese values. Journalists are painting just actions in an unjust light, no-one is being mistreated in our training camps (ne re-education camps). The United States is just brainwashing everyone to believe in Sinophobic talking points. China is actually the good guy, and the painting of their actions as unethical at best or genocidal at worst is an attempt to defame the nation by bad-faith foreign actors.

There's also a point where he says that journalists are free to come and see for themselves, to which an ABC reporter counters that he'd been reporting on things in China and that he and his crew had been violently rebuffed several times, to the point of assault.

The Chinese government is fucking awful, and they've been awful since well before the 2016 elections. But this latest stage of their propaganda is taking direct cues from Donald Trump's presidency and his method of handling the border issue. That moron's wild mouth-breather rhetoric has given rise to a series of buzzwords and concepts that China is now using to obfuscate its own human rights violations.
