Interesting read. I'm not sure what to think about the Uyghur matter given the sheer amount of incoming info. I've tried to be critical of this article, so I believe I should make my analysis clear here:
- There are three sides in this story: interviewed people, UN report and the Chinese government.
- It talks about the Chinese authorities denying or condemning various statements, but notably doesn't offer any further explanation, while the other two sides get to explain themselves.
- The article states that the Chinese government released personal data and imagery, but doesn't mention a reason. This seems to attempt to give the impression that doxxing her was the intention, but she lives in the US and for all I know that info could be intended as proof of non-stated facts.
- Some mention family members being detained. The alleged reasons for their detention are not made explicit. I tried to learn more about this in a linked article, but all it stated was that "reasons including ...", which is a phrasing that indicates hiding of information, and thus a high risk of bias.
- "The report demolished Beijing’s counter-terrorism framework" seems to be a purely personal judgement, as the report didn't deny that countering terrorism was indeed the goal of those efforts.
Overall, I think this article might be biased towards one end of the story, and is explaining the facts in a way that intentionally pushes a non-objective narrative. In particular, I found it problematic that the article is challenging the statements issued by the UN report, which constitutes higher-quality evidence than testimonials.
