the great firewall definitely predates that, but thats very interesting history that I didnt know about. the dead roughly 2/3 Han and 1/3 reportedly “moderate”/non-separatist uyghurs. I knew there were incidents but nothing this big
obscene that there were such strenuous complaints about arrests being made when 200 people were killed in such a short time
People also tried to act like the police easily taking down the train station stabbing maniacs was some kind of authoritarian brutality. Gee, that would be nice when we have school shootings. Instead of cops just waiting until they get a high score
