I guess my main issue with your argument is that I’m not convinced of the reliability of the sources you’ve cited regarding the situation in Xinjiang.
Despite your criticisms of Wikipedia, I believe the users of the site do a good job of vetting the information that’s there.
I do think it’s valid to criticize the US broadly, and I likewise think it’s valid to criticize China when they appear to be doing mass internment and “re-education” of their minority groups.

It seems the sources you deem reliable are largely the same sources that Wikipedia, MB/FC, AFM, and the RAND Corporation deem reliable. I have a lot of thoughts about the media and about media literacy.
They usually do a decent job, less so when reality rubs up against cultural hegemony.
Sure, there are no sacred cows.
