      Are the Xinjiang papers not enough evidence?

      Of genocide? No. There’s evidence that they’re pursuing a policy somewhat similar to the US response to 9/11, which is concerning, absolutely, but I wouldn’t label that a genocide in either case. If there’s something specific in the papers you want to present, be my guest.

      Maybe you would like to follow up on the findings of the select committee investigating the issue?

      Is this source, coming directly from the US government, citing noted crackpot and CIA asset Adrian Zenz, meant to show that this isn’t US propaganda?

      Maybe you want something Sourced by the BBC?

      Regarding genocide, the only claims the article cites are accusations from the US and UK governments. Well, that a report claiming that the government has been forcibly sterilizing women, a report that comes directly from noted crackpot and CIA asset Adrian Zenz.

      There are other claims mentioned in these sources that would constitute human rights abuses, and I don’t deny that. But I agree with the UN report that did not find sufficient evidence to call it a genocide.

        There’s evidence that they’re pursuing a domestic policy somewhat similar to the US response to 9/11

        Lmao at what point did the United States government detain and imprison and torture millions of people in response to 9/11?

        You’re awfully dismissive of a horrific situation just to stand on top of the ethical fallacy that this isn’t “genocide” as it fits your definition.

          Sorry, which source shows that China is “detaining, imprisoning, and torturing millions of people?” Where does that idea come from, exactly?
