    I think the camps for the Uyghurs are.

    Edit: Looks like I got banned for my original comment, so I’ll answer in an edit:

    I think they are comparable in that they are horrible treatment of minorities. I think the concentration camps of Japanese Americans was out of extreme xenophobia. I think the reeducation camps are out desire to stamp out any possibility of independence movements. So not very similar, but both very terrible.

      Do you think the current treatment of Uyghurs by China is comparable to treatment of Japanese people in US internment camps during WWII?
