Oh, is "like a movie" the new term for "Potemkin Village"?
Comments
More like the Nazi movies of Jews and gypsies living the good life at concentration camps as part of normalisation propaganda.
BTW, discovered Milos Forman (Amadeus, Cuckoo's Nest) lost both parents to Auschwitz as a tyke, even tho not Jewish.
Never again? After the Killing Fields and this in Xinjiang, seems like a periodic revival.

Looking for the Chinese Pavlik Morozov - how retro.

They are just ruthlessly and brutally trying to avoid what is threatening to happen right now in Colombia, and to have it be a success unlike former Yugoslavia when the dictator holding it all together fell.
The only experiment that worked better is the one our Founding Fathers cooked up in the 18th century, dreaming that everyone could tolerate each other under one roof if you just went by a basic agreed secular creed
This is why I don't cotton to current political correctness fad of bashing of them. Were they the elite of the time with major sins and some nasty beliefs and willing to settle? You betcha. The elite were the only ones who could have done it. They did that when a huge number of citizens were still illiterate and worried about witchcraft. Did they solve the class problem? Nope, they were the elite and had just started thinking a new way: don't need no ethnic nation state, people can think for themselves, be different from each other, and still tolerate each other.
Chinese still think DNA is everything. Just an upside down version of Britannia (or Spain) rules the others, with the commoners with the right DNA at the top of the pyramid. (Brexiteers currently pandering to that whole thing.)

Oh and comes to mind Karl Marx, 19th century, I wonder what he would think of what the Chinese are are up to? Workers of the world unite, as long as you all got the same DNA and pure cultural history....
