I feel like a lot of those things are entirely orthogonal to what side one chooses. Like, Russia attacks Ukraine, the US attacks Iran, China does ethnic cleansing (edit: I don't think that's the case, but Western media claim that), Israel does too. So the best we can do as regular citizens is to ensure we don't restrict our views.

China does ethnic cleansin

This is, to the best of my knowledge and research ability, not the case

I agree. I don't think it's the case and evidence seems to point that way. Edited for correctness.

Would you mind describing your research process for anyone reading this thread in the future? I agree and came to the same conclusion. There simply isn't enough evidence to support the claim.

China does ethnic cleansing

this is news to me; where does it come from?
