Yes, I know a number of people from Hong Kong, as it has historical ties with the UK. Xinjiang is not a community I have ever come into contact with.
The West has its propaganda, but it does have free press, unlike China, and the internet is uncensored. The same sources which tell me about the atrocities in Xinjiang which you inexplicably deny are the ones who taught me about the horrors of the British empire. My sources are not biased because they recognise flaws in both parts of the world.
