    That’s not a quote. Why do you think that’s a quote?

    This is how a quote would look like.

    Also, there is no claim of genocide. There is a claim that several experts say it’s a genocide.

      This string exists in your comment:

      Weird way to write “being repressed, being subject to forced labour, ideological and political “reeducation”, being restricted in exercising their religious beliefs to the point of muslim names being prohibited, being subject to abuse and internment, etc. pp, all that to degrees where several experts classify CCPs course against Uighurs in Xinjiang as a genocide.”

      The 19th character of that string is ". The last character is also a ". Where I come from we call that a quote.

        Call it what you want and ignore that quotation marks are more versatile in use than just mar the beginning and end of a quote.

          Okay, so it’s not a quote? It’s just information from your mind? Can you tell me what the source of the information was?

            That’s what I said, yes.

            Can you tell me what the source of the information was?

            It’s not just one single source. It’s a number of media articles. And luckily, there is a list of sources with a summary of those sources’ content. Though I kinda doubt you’ll accept those sources’ validity and believe you’ll find some weird, generalizing excuse to dismiss the list in total.

              Okay, thank you, I don’t know why it was necessary to drag the thread out for so many comments to get a source out of you when I was upfront with the sources I used to justify my original claims.

              I’ll have to peruse through the sources cited there tomorrow, sadly I’m a little busy right now.
