    The mass detention and “re-education” of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in China’s Xinjiang region began in early 2017.

    The yellow umbrella movement protests and crackdowns reached their peaks roughly in 2019/2020.

      Right, and there was plenty of misinformation about that the media pushed as fact.

      The yellow umbrella movement protests and crackdowns reached their peaks roughly in 2019/2020.

      The umbrella movement was 79 days in 2014 according to Wikipedia. There was no noticable shift in American opinion of China in response to that.
