    Their answer from my last interaction:

    -western propaganda

    -uyghurs themselves love it

    -not forced labour but a vocational school the government put these people under

    -amnesty and UN is lying and unreliable

    -only reliable source is the blogpost they linked

    -it’s all anti terrorism effort

    -western propaganda

      The more consistent take I see simply poses the ugyur genocide falls under a similar definition that includes ongoing genocide of black americans, which tends to meet a lot of resistance.

      But much more than that: what I see is issue being taken (usually at the media), with comparing Xinjiang to something like Gaza, while often also denying Israel is committing a genocide.

        Don’t worry bro, China is only treating them as bad as the US treats black people.

        It’s such odd double speak. Is China treating them terribly or are you saying that Black Americans are doing just fine?

        Or the genocide of indigenous peoples in North America, which alsi receives “resistance”, of a somewhat apopleptic fashion.

      The Uyghur part I read was they deserve it because it is mostly criminals.

        Specific criminals were arrested. A lot of investment from CCP in education and job creation. Genocide is a political declaration devoid of factual bases.

          Same story, different genocide.

          Oh wait. There is a difference. Hardly anyone denies genocide in Gaza despite tankies drumming out libtards deny it meme like there is no tomorrow.

          Western propaganda media bends itself backwards reporting the genocide as no Israeli fault/nothing much is going on but it is baaaad. Protests in the streets, actual people are outraged.

          People UNDERSTAND they are being lied to.

          Yet CCP shits out one propaganda piece on Uyghur and tankies will do mental Olimpics to forgo ANY and ALL evidence to the contrary.

          Because anti-western. Therefore no genocide.

            Xinxiang handled completely different than Gaza, and in fact could be the most historically humanitarian response/resolution to terrorism/terrorists.

      Grains of truth in each point.

      Which is a give away sign of anti-western propaganda. China, russia and the likes.
