[xizhimen]

Western media sees some barbwired compounds in Xinjiang and presumes they are concentration camps and writes fake reports, but what western media doesn't know is that schools all over China are barbwired , heavily fenced and guarded by the police and security guards.

A spate of campus children stabbing crimes committed by some psychos in China some years ago, it still happens occasionally, so all across China, schools are strictly guarded, heavy police presence and security guards are posted outside every school gate, school compounds are fenced with barbwires. In Xinjiang, students parents and family members are requested to go and guard the school gates in turns on different school days wearing uniform red vests with a baton when the students get off their class and leave schools.

It's becoming like a community duty for the parents. This girl in the video was doing this duty for her younger sister.

Xinjiang provides free milk every day and local community workers deliver them to every household

Xinjiang provides a free box of milk every day for the families with children under 6 years old and local community workers deliver them to every household, As one of the suppliers, Xinjiang Terun Dairy Company set up a special production line , using the most advanced technology and the highest standards.

The high-quality raw milk is from a designated cow pasture, and sampling inspection at the production line is conducted every 15 minutes -- much more frequently than in usual production lines, according to Checheg, head of the quality and technology department.

"Technicians inspect the milk from multiple dimensions, such as the total number of calories, protein index and taste. And all the indexes are absolutely superior to the market standard," Checheg said.

The milk's fat content is 3.6 percent and the protein content 3 percent, which is equivalent to the nutritional value of high-priced milk in the market.

I was in Turkey recently and spoke to quite a few Uyghurs directly who fled China. The stories are absolutely harrowing, nazi levels of evil.

But why they have to flee while 99% of the population didn't? Exiles don't always give you a objective picture due to their own personal experiences, Dalai Lama's followers in India could also tell a hellish story about Tibet.

Let's not disrupt the fawning brochure thread.

The real discussion is here (And you should share with us what they have told you):

Whole Kyrgyz village moved 10 km to a new government built settlement in Xinjiang Pamir region. The original location of this Kyrgz village is so high up in the mountains which makes poverty alleviation for the villagers almost impossible, so the government built a new community 10 Kilometers away in a new location which is much more habitable.

The new village is fully connceted with all modern facilites, electricity, gas, running water, wifi, school, hospitals...All villagers were provided with various jobs they can choose from with handsome pay. Lives of these Pamir Kyrgyzs had been sigificantly changed for the better through this relocation program.
