Well, we're not really going to know for sure. Western media is overblown and sensationalist but I also wouldn't put it past China to be using slave labour. But if you look over the history of Canada and the US you don't need to look too far to find the west putting people into concentration camps (the Japanese Americans during WWII) First Nations people and African Americans so we probably can't take the morally high ground. Banning Muslims was fairly recent in the US too.
So would China do the same thing? Yes. But getting real information is tough to determine. This article is pretty balanced noting the words accusation, not necessarily facts. But there is a lot of China is the Bogeyman thing going on these days.
As I noted - I don't support China - I am here for the money - and I will leave as soon as I can because HK when I arrived was considered "London-Lite". That is going away quite quickly.
English was a common core subject in Shanghai - that has now changed and it is now an elective subject - once that happens in Hong Kong (and it will eventually) then I probably won't have this job anymore. I am under contract to the summer of 2023. We'll see what happens by then.
