China's treatment of Uyghurs is despicable.
The communications attack continued more widely as Apple complied with a government request to bolt the door on Chinese citizens by denying them the ability to download apps such as Signal, Telegram, Threads and WhatsApp, which previously could have been accessed through virtual private networks.
China has blocked every non-Chinese social app but gets upset when the ban of tiktok is brought up.
If that is how Beijing treats its scientists, its sporting heroes fare little better. Exposed by The New York Times and German television channel ARD, 23 members of the Chinese swimming team for the Tokyo Olympics were revealed to have tested positive for a banned substance prior to the games but were allowed to compete anyway because the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accepted China’s excuse of kitchen contamination without an on-location investigation.
Trying to out do Russian olympic doping...it seems like a competition in it's own right.
Source: Radio Free Asia, aka the CIA, who have obvious material interest in smearing China as much as possible. China may have problems but the bias here is pretty overt.
Yeah, there is bias in the article, but what is being misrepresented?
The sourcing is nebulous by their own admission and the phrasing of the entire article is overtly negative and inflammatory. It could be entirely made up and we have no way to prove it true or false.
I don't believe a single word the CIA says about China and neither should anyone who is interested in the truth.
What is a source you trust when it comes to China?
When it comes to Xinjiang, I trust the UN's own report that there isn't a genocide happening
Just two examples:
China responsible for ‘serious human rights violations’ in Xinjiang province: UN human rights report
A long-awaited report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) into what China refers to as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) has concluded that “serious human rights violations” against the Uyghur and “other predominantly Muslim communities” have been committed.
Rights experts warn against forced separation of Uyghur children in China
Forced separations and language policies for Uyghur and other minority Muslim children at State-run boarding schools in China’s Xinjiang region carry the risk of forced assimilation, three UN independent human rights experts said on Tuesday.
Not once in that report did the UN refer to it as a genocide, as I stated
"the police are murdering citizens and covering up the murders with more murders"
"Is there a nicer, less biased way you could say that so china doesn't feel bad (they are a fragile utopia)"
Their sourcing is, by the article's own admission, nebulous. Don't trust a single word the CIA says about anything related to China.
There is no war in ba sing se…
Yeah, if you believe anything from Radio Free Asia at this point then you’re a moron. It’s literally CIA war propaganda.
Man, they should just move somewhere more free! Like America! Where the police never beat people to death, and the citizens are never abused for political gain by law enforcement!
Oh wait.
