What's up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It's not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

The West hasn’t been able to produce a single example of even one Uyghur being killed

What's happening to them is worse than getting killed.

even though Xinjiang is perfectly accessible and anyone can go there to find perfectly normal cities

Ok, you're completely delusional, should have figured from the start. Please watch some footage of journalists that actually went there.

All your blathering about Palestine is nice whataboutism, but nothing more. I'm strongly opposed to the Israeli government as well, not that it matters in this discussion. It's possible to have a more nuanced view than "east good, west bad" even though that might be too difficult for you to comprehend.

Millions?

Millions is probably incorrect indeed, the estimate is over 1 million. What does it matter though? The one who doesn't seem to care about their lives (apart from Putin, obviously) is you, because every single one is one too many.

What the fuck are you talking about? Please tell me you're not trying to have a take on this while being so monumentally ignorant of even the most basic facts of the matter.

I'm talking about innocent people being held in Gulags and in many cases dying there. Reading comprehension is difficult for you it seems. I'm curious though, do you think Gulags are not real or that only guilty people are sent there? Even if they were guilty, do you think a civilised nation should have concentration camps?

question, why do you think the rest of us should believe the work of the German guy 'on a mission from god' against China and communism when he doesn't even speak the language.

also why can't they find another person to research this if it's really as serious as you say lmao
