      there is no genocide of muslims in xinjiang. Unjust religious prosecution at a small scale? yes, genocide? hell no.

      Surveillance and exceptional human rights abuses but overall nothing more than what the average Chinese person is subject to. Apart from those wierd stories about Chinese uncles sleeping in their beds, put out by the BBC.

      We’re literally exterminating Arabs, wiping out entire bloodlines, but somehow we give a sht about Muslims in one corner of China? A bit suspect no?

        The US doing bad things doesn’t absolve China of doing bad things. It’s not a zero sum game

          Don’t put words in my mouth you lemming.

          Aren’t you intellectually curious? Don’t you see the hypocrisy? Also you seem to have missed the part where I mention an often overlooked accusation on how China conducts in-person surveillance.

            Your assertion is that because the US is doing genocide, reports of China doing genocide are suspicious.

            That’s flawed logic, especially since the first reports of it were from 2014. Not to mention that the US isn’t the only source for them.

          Alright man. But we can see and directly influence one. And we can’t vote for change in China, other than voting for more war, which produces more of the first problem…

          Also you seem to be skipping past the scandalous accusation I quoted from the BBC. Do you think it’s true?
