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

      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.
