So bbc is a bit out of date so double checked the source.

So you’re still wrong as “it’s not even close” is wrong.

But my point still stands. We have no real valid data of china, and if you included Uyghurs it would most likely exceed the US in total imprisonment.



I notice you're quiet about Russia.


I’m from NZ and live in Asia.

I don’t talk about Russia because I know very little about it.


> Russia is pretty close to the US

> I don’t talk about Russia because I know very little about it.

Except to tell lies, apparently.

No. I looked at your claim and your claims were false. Even with updated data it’s still a false claim.


On what basis is your source better than mine?


If you look at the data source I linked to , prison studies. It’s the same source as Wikipedia and the BBC. But the claim you made was “it’s not even close” when you look at Wikipedia and the source, that isn’t true at all.


I copy pasted from wikipedia.
