Xinjiang’s situation didn’t start in a day, and neither did Hong Kong’s. We’ve been watching HK boiling for the past year and things have finally overflowed. It’ll only get worse from here. America is following a similar course. Massive detention camps for citizens aren’t a problem yet because they haven’t been built. But people are being picked up and who knows what’s happening, journalists are being arrested just for reporting the facts, people are being shot and permanently injured or killed just for standing by the protests. And while not intended for citizens, America already has detention camps in use, but we’re exempt from them for the moment (although some citizens are being rounded up [1]). It’s not impossible or even difficult for the feds to decide to take problem A and solution B and say, hey, we can apply this method here.
