Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

It always entertains me to see the pretend care tankies have for genocide when using Isreal/Palestine as a wedge issue because as soon as you get a glimpse behind the mask they fully support genocide and even imperialism.

I think you know that you're carrying the CCP genocide denial talking points. I think you know they arent true but you repeat them just to muddy the water because thats effective.

If anyone reading unironically thinks this is all made up by a single german guy go read the UN reports and Human rights watch reports going over the thousands of testimonies, investigations by journalists, governments, independent bodies. It is truly horrible stuff. Over a million unfairly detained and kept in tiny cells, tortured, raped, women and kids sold, people being used as experiments for drugs, people dying from the amount of abuse. The only thing the reports didnt conclude was systematic killings because instead they are sterilizing and imprisoning them which is not a loophole to avoid genocide.

Funny how you pretend to care about the USA and Israel committing war crimes nonstop. But the brave USA and NATO surely do care so much about the persecuted Muslims in China for some strange reason. It's almost like paying some Christian nutter to "write reports" about the "cultural genocide" is maybe not on the up and up perhaps. And almost every news article or UN/HRW report is sourcing their data from this right-wing fascist pushing an agenda because he has to uphold the white man's burden of caring for the Muslims in evil Chyna.

After Palestinian ambassador to China Fariz Mehdawi [ar] visited Xinjiang in March 2021, he remarked on Chinese state media that he was impressed by the region’s infrastructure and upkeep of mosques,[166] saying “if you have to calculate it all, it’s something like 2,000 inhabitants for one mosque. This ratio, we don’t have it in our country. It’s not available anywhere.”[167]

This right-wing fascist pushing an agenda sources 95% of his data from publicly available chinese sources and has all his findings published and peer reviewed. Its all open which is why the claims can be verified by experts from all over the world. But its not like he is the only source anymore its not 2016 we can take him out of the mix and still have enough evidence to conclude that genocide and crimes against humanity are being committed by the Chinese State. There is ample witness testimony and 1st hand accounts as well as government investigations to go off.

Also those links are a complete joke not only do they do absolutely nothing to support your point and its laughable that you would even try and use them as if I would just accept them without reading. Did you expect me to say "Oh I guess its not a genocide because China has some mosques and a Palestinian guy was impressed by them". The funniest part of that claim is doing a follow up and seeing reports that 65% of them have now been destroyed by the government. I wonder why that is.

the figure also includes an additional estimate of 383,000 Uyghur children sent to boarding schools from 2017 to 2019, as calculated by Adrian Zenz [a scholar and Senior Fellow and Director in China studies at the US-based Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation[footnote 40]]

LMAO 13 matches for Zenz. It's like you don't even read what you are posting.
