Tourist shocked by how cheap the cost of living and local price are in Xinjiang

[xizhimen]

Xinjiang's GDP per capita is around $8750 last year in 2020, considerably lower than China's average, but the cost of living is mindblowingly low comparing to rest of China, so standard of living can be higher than big cities.​

Incredible! The cost benefits of forcing people into internment camps and making product cheap is just unbelievable. Has the planet ever seen this before? Yes. But not since the slavery era.

It is like some American from Alabama posting about how great the life was down south for the slaves in those cotton plantations.

You can believe whatever the western media feeds you, but can you tell me another place that developes this fast while having a whole bunch of the local population being locked up? Xinjiang's GDP percapita grows from merely several hundred dollars barely a decade ago to close to $10,000 now, how can Xinjiang achieve this growth by locking up and persecuting the local population? Have some common sense.

That's why you need different perspetives from different people and sources, cause many people already decided how to look at something before they really get a chance to look at it.
