That actually lead me down a small rabbit hole reading about capital punishment within the PRC. Execution vans??? The wiki article, of course, is incredibly well sourced. Look, they even have a source with a Chinese name! The Dui Hua Foundation!
!The Dui Hua Foundation, of course, is based in San Francisco and is headed by the very definitely actual Chinese person, John Kamm.!<

"The execution van, also called a mobile execution unit, was developed by the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC)[citation needed]"
CITATION NEEDED

Also:
"In 2004, Amnesty International predicted that the execution rate in China would increase because of mobile capital punishment.[1] However, the number of executions dropped steadily in the 2000s, and significantly since 2007"
...hmmmm, almost like this whole thing is complete bullshit???

truly, we are seeing the propaganda blitz unfold.
editto:
To this day, we can see western "leftists" stumble into places like this sub, who have hopped across one bar only to stumble and collapse at the second. It's odd, honestly, how this happens; Hong Kong was bullshit, but surely the NGO's wouldn't lie about Xinjiang; Xinjiang was bullshit, but surely the NGO's wouldn't lie about the balloon; the balloon was bullshit, but surely the NGO's wouldn't lie about secret police stations. How long, then, until a "leftist" barges here holding half a dozen bourgeois media articles about this "issue"?
Day writes that the blitz was unsuccessful, and of course for people who hold that the CPC is largely ML (regardless of exactly how much it has deviated) it's true, the blitz only makes such people laugh harder at the alphabet agencies, but I wonder if there's no analysis to be made specifically on the licensing of western "leftists" focused on purity.
Of course, my dumb ass located in beijing, the absolute best I could do is look at western "leftist" publication to analyze such a thing. But I am curious.

The Blitz was unsuccessful in an objective sense: Xinjiang isn't a warzone.
However, as pertains propaganda, I have done further research, precisely along the lines of the questions that you ask. I recommend the following two pieces:
- https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/
- https://redsails.org/false-witnesses/ (Kind of a case study of the above)

definitely not propaganda /s

Incredible that people are (presumably) talking about how bad American healthcare is and someone has to out of nowhere interject "This is just like China, but China is even worse!". Do these people just think about China 24/7? Or is it some kind of thing where they're conditioned to associate bad things with China, so whenever something bad happens they immediately start talking about China even if it isn't remotely relevant?

Most people are unhappy with the way things are in America. Nationalistic hatred is just one way to channel that unhappiness so it doesn't become dangerous to those with power, money, and/or connections.

they love to accuse people of "whataboutism" and then turn around and do the exact same thing. Completely oblivious

Yes. It's completely Pavlovian.

USA can never ever be a benchmark for "bad" to them

That story about the bullets was originally attributed to the Bolsheviks. Don't know of its veracity or lack thereof, though I wouldn't put it past them to have tried such a thing
