        Ummm actually if you look at this CCP-approved news source, they say it’s logistically impossible to commit a genocide against that many people without anyone noticing soooo

      Their answer is always “something-something western propaganda have you ever seen the camps first-hand you’re swallowing propaganda they’re not real CCP is going to solve global warming with fusion energy”

      I got banned from some community or other for laughing at that last part. Not a joke, apparently.

          Please dont get me wrong here, I’m not defending the CCPs treatment of the Ulghurs, at all, and it does fit the broad definition of genocide, but it is not the same as the Holocaust death camps.

          The camps in China are much more akin to the “Indian schools” that the US sent native Americans to in an attempt to get them to forget their culture and “civilize” them. Also, maybe a bit of the Japanese interment camp experience from the US in WWII.

          It’s still disgusting and needs to be called out, don’t get me wrong, but its not quite the same as literal death camps, or the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

            I know.

            The point I’m trying to make is that the idea of “If you didn’t see it with your eyes, in person, then its fake” is not really a good argument that the tankies frequently use, since thats the same argument used by the far-right.

        You most definitely have not seen camps first hand. Some agitator made videos of buildings, and training centers where people’s right answer to tests was equivalent to US pledge of allegiance. Some women who’ve had 6 children already were sterilized. Uyghurs have always been exempt from one child policy.

        Complete disgrace to consider China’s actions as genocide when so much worse in the world is not.
