    US sponsored hate is behind those genocide accusations.

    ok, source?

    1. China faced terrorism in Xinjiang. Fine, some people got arrested. It’s main response was education and job creation programs. Xinjiang prosperity has grown higher than average of Chinese provinces, with high investment levels. The genocide declaration is political persecution meant to impoverish the region to destabilize it rather than a principled view where “every more heavy handed act with actual documentation of intentional extermination” (Palestine) would be genocide.

    https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/china-xinjiang-uyghurs-muslims-repression-genocide-human-rights

    so all my listes sources are us propaganda?

    also please give me some independent stuff about that terrorism problem, with independent I mean something, that didn’t run through chinese censorship (which I belive you can’t deny exists)

    also reeducation is inherently wrong tbh, you just force your values on others by the state

    also those “jobs” that are created are slave jobs from what I’ve read

    only because some province prospers, does not mean it doesn’t repress a group of people, when slavery was still a thing in the us the slaver states actually prospered the most

    now, I think the uighur situation is pretty well documented for the fact, that there are no legal independent chinese media outlets

    The US has political corruption power in imposing determinations of genocide. Reality has no relevance to US Empire’s political will.

    ok, but from what I’ve read they’re sterilizing uighur women, kill them enslave them and “reeducate” them (reeducation is a nice term for destroying a culture)

          I’m not sure what your intention is there. You asked for information about something and I provided it.

          I cited Wikipedia as a quick reference for something uncontroversial, which, as per your request, is independent of Chinese censorship. That doesn’t mean I treat it like the Word of God. That’s not really how sources work. For instance, a lot of the information in the article you linked traces back to Adrian Zenz. Adrian Zenz was also the primary source cited in two of your three previous links - the other of which made no mention of genocide.

          Lots of countries have internment camps. Would you find it objectionable if I said that Biden was directly committing genocide by detaining undocumented migrants in interment camps?

      so all my listes sources are us propaganda?

      Absolutely. Including the US led corruption of UN. You can tell by the lack of documented examples. The undercover propaganda documentaries are jokes that don’t prove anything other than “Education involves similar to US pledge of allegiance “right answers” to CCP is good”.

      People getting arrested for terrorist incitement/acts is not genocide. Education and job creation prosperity is not genocide. Xinjiang is also exempt from 1 child policy. The prosperity includes poverty alleviation, restaurant and cultural funding booms. It is a nice welcoming place to visit. You can see tourism videos on Youtube.

      but from what I’ve read they’re sterilizing uighur women,

      There are reports of this. (not your slavery claim). Such reports can be coached for political diminishment purposes. The more that you want BS to be true, the friendlier you are to volunteering liars. Uyghur used to be allowed to have more children than Han. New policy is that all are equal.

      https://www.ceicdata.com/en/china/population-birth-rate-by-region/cn-population-birth-rate-xinjiang

      This happens to be higher than Chinese average, and triple the birth rate of US, with the 2023 bounceback, but even at 2021 (covid) low, over double the US. So why is US genociding itself according to this politicization? There is US politicization that “transgender immigrant cat eating rapists are invading the country” too. Just because the next congress might successfully impeach Biden for such treason, won’t make it true instead of political BS. The US, like Israel, is capable of lying, and willing to, and now in fact desperate to make any and every, lie to advance its empire.

        ok, you’re baslly saying china is a perfect utopia and everything bad about them is made up by the us, got it

        you see, the world becomes very simple when you think like that

        but there must surely be some sources that help your claim that everything of that is just propaganda

          Why do libs think that pushing back on the most egregious claims about a country means that a person considers it, “A perfect utopia?” There are plenty of bad things about China that aren’t made up, just as there are for any country. The world is in fact, quite complex when you practice basic critical thinking and treat claims with skepticism and take the good with the bad. It’s much simpler when you just accept any negative claim anybody says about whichever country the news tells you to hate.

          The sources you cite rely on Adrian Zenz, an evangelical Christian fundamentalist who works for an organization called, “The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation,” an organization with ties to the Heritage Foundation and which counted everyone who died of COVID as a, “Victim of Communism.” Somehow. That’s not a reliable source.
