Does anyone know what this is actually satellite photography of?

    The satellite image just shows that some buildings were constructed, probably apartments. The article doesnt even mention this supposed “camp” at all. You could make similar images for any country in the world. So what is there to debunk?

      Well, the caption for the image was “Satellite images show rapid construction of camps in Xinjiang, like this one near Dabancheng.” The article doesn’t mention anything beyond that about it though so I couldn’t find any information about it.

      If it is apartments, I would love to know that so then I can always show people making claims of concentration camps that this one specifically is innocuous. Which, is a piece of the puzzle about the sinister story that western media outlets have created out of almost nothing.

      There have been tons of other claims like this that have been disproven and I wanted to know if anyone here was familiar with this one.

          I believe they are apartments more than I believe that they are concentration camps. But, that isn’t enough for a lot of westerners. They believe the BBC regardless of its proven us as a propaganda outlet
