By Western standards, China's record on human rights with respect to Uyghurs is not clean. However, it's no more dirty than China's record on human rights with respect to Han.

Turns out, Western standards look down on things like collectivism and the common good in favour of individual rights and privileges.

Western criticism of the one child policy, for example, is the exact same thing as Western criticism of government-imposed family planning on Uyghurs: by Western standards, the government should only impose family planning policy through economic levels, never legally enforceable ones.

Yes, but that makes the propaganda sound bad.

(you also need the tape read/write machine and a storage system, but those aren't that expensive either).

If anything, this makes the A-50U downing less likely given that there's been no indication that any A-50U crew are dead and Russia clearly isn't censoring reports on such.

They're different stories about different statements from different countries. Estonia, Germany, and Poland all independently made statements, not as a single joint statement.

If this is a policy going forward, it should be listed as a rule.

This headline is the one that loads in Google. Business Insider has changed it since then.
