      China, with four times more inhabitants, has fewer persons in prison.

      China, being well-known for its honesty and upstanding record-keeping. That’s why they punished Al-Jazeera English for investigating their prison system, and why nothing at all is going on in Xinjiang.

        Welll, there’s also 1.8 million Uyghurs being reeductated, which is more than the 1.2 million in the prison system. So, one number is bigger than another and doesn’t even count the Chinese prison system.

      Guess what happens when you introduce a third party that benefits from higher incarceration numbers…
