However, it is not a surprise that most of the videos were deleted by tiktok since it was a Chinese owned company. 17 years old high school Junior Feroza Aziz’s tutorial on how to get long lashes went viral which included information about the Chinese Concentration camps.

    I love that one of your sources includes a TikTok video. I also am very interested in your topic and am eager to learn more about the situation that is happening with some Muslims in China. I remember reading the personal experiences of some Rohingya Muslims living in refugee camps in Bangladesh on the Instagram page "Humans of New York" a while ago. I included two links where you can read about their stories just in case you want to include it in your essay. Thank you for sharing! Make sure to proofread :)! https://www.humansofnewyork.com/post/171534483051/it-was-early-in-the-morning-when-the-military https://www.humansofnewyork.com/post/171808856336/my-parents-fled-myanmar-twenty-five-years-ago-so
