BBC: China's hidden camps

What's happened to the vanished Uighurs of Xinjiang?

* China is accused of locking up hundreds of thousands of Muslims without trial in its western region of Xinjiang.
* The government denies the claims, saying people willingly attend special “vocational schools” which combat “terrorism and religious extremism”.
* Now a BBC investigation has found important new evidence of the reality.

On 12 July 2015 a satellite swung over the rolling deserts and oasis cities of China's vast far west.

One of the images it captured that day just shows a patch of empty, untouched, ashen-grey sand.

It seems an unlikely place to start an investigation into one of the most pressing human rights concerns of our age.

But less than three years later, on 22 April 2018, a satellite photo of that same piece of desert showed something new.

A massive, highly secure compound had materialised.

It is enclosed with a 2km-long exterior wall punctuated by 16 guard towers.

Almost no word on this by CNN.
Check the ads CNN runs on China - so much money for CEO Zucker, good boy. Keep on selling out democracy, one bit at a time, dear Zucker.
CNN is also the brand that for 20 years has been telling us that China's rise and takeover is imminent.
Reality? China's GDP now less than half of US. Just about twice the size of Germany, but need 20 times more people to accomplish this.

What the f*** is CNN doing? Why this manipulation how people think?

Also, CNN Turk (the turkish cnn network) is very close to Erdogan. And now we hear 24/7 on that one reporter who got killed... right

CNN. Selling you out, one day at a time.

Breaking news! ;)

Oh and remember how Donna Brazille, a CNN talking head, manipulated the election process in 2016 by passing on town hall questions to CNN darling Hillary Clinton?

Fun times
