And it’s seen in the fear that was ever-present, just below the surface, on two rare trips to Xinjiang I made for The Associated Press, one on a state-guided tour for the foreign press.
A bike seller’s eyes widened in alarm when he learned I was a foreigner. He picked up his phone and began dialing the police.
That’s a great example of the language western propagandists like to use that resonates with people like you. However, once you read past the spin it’s pretty clear that they’re not able to find any tangible evidence of repression they’re claiming. Of course, this kind of narrative works because Americans are primed to believe it without question. I guess thinking that China uses slave labour in Xinjiang is what helps you somehow rationalize why US isn’t doing anything to transition off fossils.
Lol.

Official policy of the United States is to actually get off fossil fuels
And legislation to get the country a chunk of the way there passed last year
So no, not nothing.
In actual tangible terms US has done very little so far, especially when compared to what China has done already.
