#Opinion: Fish farming in a desert ought to be a story about ingenuity. More food. Better incomes. A livelihood where few people used to see it possible. Yet @nytimes turns the fishpond into ammunition against #China.
In its report, "The Dirty Secret Behind the Farmed Fish You Eat," the newspaper baselessly accuses fish farms in China's #Xinjiang of so-called #ForcedLabor.
There is nothing criminal about farmers earning a living. Their fish are hardly accomplices. But in the newspaper's telling, being in Xinjiang seems enough to turn an ordinary business into something sinister.
The fish has barely left the water. Somehow, the orange jumpsuit is already waiting.■
