Thomas Friedman overlooked accusations of genocide because China has high-speed trains
China is a much better place than America despite those pesky accusations of genocide against Uighurs, according to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.
A formal legal opinion recently published in the United Kingdom and cited by the BBC on Sunday concluded that here is a "very credible case" that China is carrying out genocide against Uighurs," but Friedman feels the communist nation is much better off than the United States anyway.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. The Times columnist said the GOP "sold their soul" to Trump and essentially claimed the United States would have better methods of mass transportation if it followed in China’s footsteps.

And it takes 21 hours to take the train from New York to Chicago and they’re both about the same distance," Freidman told Chris Cuomo, who nodded along to his every word, in a clip flagged by Mediaite.
"I'll tell you something they weren’t thinking about in China this week. They weren’t thinking about some knucklehead. They weren’t spending the week thinking about a knucklehead who claimed 9/11 didn’t happen. They weren’t thinking about some guy who is a QAnon shaman," Freidman continued. "They were probably thinking about some bad stuff with the Uighurs and all of that, oh, for sure, but I guarantee you they weren’t wasting their time on this nonsense."
The left-wing Cuomo didn’t ask a follow-up on the "bad stuff with the Uighurs,"

For this no, but he already has three.
I’ll buy Friedman a one-way ticket to Beijing if he likes China so much
Yes, it’s amazing how much simpler that makes things.
I’d swear this was the Bee. smh
