Chinese citizen here.

I guess you're implying that certain bad things are happening in China. Do you really live in China and see those things happen, or just hear about them from the media?

And is it possible that some of the media in US are inhonest? Just as there're inhonest media in China.

I'm not fighting you on this topic; just don't understand why there's so much hatred towards our country.

There is plenty of non US media reporting on the camps in Xinjiang.

Why don't you travel to Xinjiang and do some investigating. If the camps there are really fabricated by the US media, surely the government won't mind you traveling around and filming the suspected sites?

>just don't understand why there's so much hatred towards our country.

I don't hate you or the other people of your country. I'd love to visit someday and relearn some of the Mandarin I learned in college. However, I do hate what your government is doing to the people of Xinjiang. Why wouldn't I be upset about this?

There're serious security issues that need to be addressed in Xinjiang. Don't assume it's related to racism. Also, when you use the word `camp` it automatically reminds people of Nazi camps during WWII. They are not the same, on multiple levels.

It's not hatred and it's not against your country.

It's distrust of your government.

There is an enormous amount of respect and fascination with China and its history, culture and people. Your current government is wasting that.

China was going in a positive direction until Xi Jinping.

“The Tribunal’s members are certain - unanimously, and sure beyond reasonable doubt - that in China forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience has been practiced for a substantial period of time involving a very substantial number of victims.”

Brits, Americans, an Iranian, a Malaysian. Are these people making it up?

Simply go south and take a look what's happening in Hong Kong right now. Is that bad enough?
