In 2010 I asked two different party members* about the western Muslim relations. Both had the same answer that it was the same as the black people prison population in the US, and a red herring the US used for leverage. My Chinese and their English was never good enough to discuss things like due process. At any rate, the pressure on human rights needs to come from countries other than the US.

* being a party member not quite what you’d expect. Requires being in the top 10% of your HS class plus learning a bit of propaganda, and agreeing to harsher punishment for committing crimes. The ones I spoke to were successful business people, and willing to criticize the party.
