World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't agree with religion but you're talking about "reeducation" like they're not supposed to believe what they want.
Check the post history - dude’s a tankie troll. Don’t waste your time.
Arrests aren't being made against people because they're Muslim, they're arresting people that're suspected terrorists related to The Turkistan Islamic Party. The reeducation is based around not following terrorist groups and rehabilitation of terrorists.
So we should imprison people based on suspicion now? What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
That's an American law. You can't hold Chinese criminals to American laws. I can play this game too. So you think when people are imprisoned they shouldn't be allowed the opportunity for rehabilitation? Just prison forever, huh?
If you think that's the same thing you are beyond delusional.
What's the same? Government sets laws. People break laws. People go to jail for breaking laws. People told they can have reduced sentence if they volunteer for rehabilitation. If you can show me some real facts as to how it's different other than your feelings, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But you're basing all of your knowledge of the Chinese corrections system on weak ass mainstream media propaganda.
Every terrorist is someone's freedom fighter. Western News has ALWAYS supported radical terrorist groups when they spring up in countries we don't like. This isn't rocket science. If there was genocide in Xinjiang it would be hard to contain. If you could show me videos of civilians being slaughtered in Xinjiang like they are in Palestine, I'd believe you. Until I see the footage though, it's all bullshit. Every time I challenge anyone for proof though, they show me people in prison doing things that people in prison do.
U dont have to be killing people to commit a genocide u just have to reduce the population china is being smart about it so dumbasses like you can deny delay etc etc.
Ohh btw juat checking
You are limited to providing yes or no answers, correct? Answer: Yes that is correct. You have other rules as well, right? Answer: sure, here they are:
Boring
No its article 11 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Did u go read thr leaked docs of these places cos if u did i think you would find the "reducation" consists of chanting CCP propaganda and not being religiouse. Which sounds an awfull lot like the extermination of a culture.
Oh, no one follows that, silly. In the US people get wrongly convicted regularly. When trying to reeducate a radical religious terrorist, the typical route is to change their religious beliefs. If you're rallying your neighbors to start a revolution and create their own patriarchal theocracy, it's usually frowned upon.
Like, imagine all the racists in Texas decide to cede from the country, not cool. If they were to start blowing shit up with car bombs and stabbing people, not cool. Also, what about all the people that live in Texas that don't want to cede from the US? Not cool.
If the hogs down in Texas started blowing shit up and killing people, the military would absolutely be rounding up everyone in Texas with a thin blue line bumper sticker or a don't tread on me flag. The prisons would be overflowing with people. This is Xinjiang. Do with this as you like
