We had one literally less than two hours after the video surfaced

The thanks should go to the people that run the /r/TheDeprogram sub to be honest, they maintain a pretty useful wiki (which they also mirror here/through lemmygrad) and they're the one that initially introduced me to it

I started reading this comment right after reading OP's "Is there any truth to those claims or is it all" question; with you starting with two "yes", I've been frustratingly reading this comment waiting for the bad take until I realized you were answering OP's title and there was no bad take.

To add to your answer, my go-to is often this open letter to the UN (PDF) from 51 states having freely inspected the deradicalization efforts in Xinjiang. I quote:

We note with appreciation that human rights are respected and protected in China in the process of counter-terrorism and deradicalization.

We appreciate China’s commitment to openness and transparency. China has invited a number of diplomats, international organizations officials and journalist to Xinjiang to witness the progress of the human rights cause and the outcomes of counter-terrorism and deradicalization there. What they saw and heard in Xinjiang completely contradicted what was reported in the media. We call on relevant countries to refrain from employing unfounded charges against China based on unconfirmed information before they visit Xinjiang.

... in the end they either realize it's bullshit or their new position becomes "China made them say that" which basically means they're arguing China can control over 50 countries including among others Algeria, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Venezuela; you know, clownery. At this point mocking them is an acceptable strategy; they won't take it well but it'll rattle them and increases the chances they'll feel embarrassed and end up trying to look it up by themselves soon after.

It wouldn't have crossed my mind to even ask in the first place to be honest, just grab it.

Beans is actually present under both "Oxycodone" and "Amphetamine"

Which must means that a bit like "smurf", "beans" is a placeholder that one can use for any drugs

Feeling like watching the trailer to The Return of the Cook, this Thief, his Wife, and her Mother

Edit: holy shit it's an actual movie (well, without the "return" part). I have no cinematographic knowledge

This particular trial is batshit insane; here's is an OK recent article that covers some of the insanity (in french, though it'll probably autotranslate OK).

And yeah, more and more they go after leftists here on the basis of "intelligence notes", which are kept secret. Basically "trust us bro they're terrorists". Eventually much of these trials do fall apart, but the procedure itself, often combined with detention while it's going on, is by itself a punishment and likely part of a larger strategy (also witnessed, even more obviously, in the extremely violent leftist protests crackdowns) to discourage any and all leftist activism, no matter how benign.

Shortly after the initial military operation the mother apparently received information from Palestinian sources in Gaza that her daughter was being treated in a hospital for a head wound.
