The European Parliament overwhelmingly passed an emergency resolution Thursday condemning the Chinese government's persecution of Uyghurs and urging China to immediately and unconditionally release detainees, including Uyghur economist Ilham Tohti and Gulshan Abbas.

The resolution is fueled by widespread concern from the international community and highlights its continued concern about the human rights situation in Xinjiang.

I’m saying all genocide is wrong. All Muslim genocide is wrong. You’re saying it’s wrong, except when china does it… because your only concern is the downfall of western civilization, and not AT ALL about genocide.

Shame on you for using genocide to push Wumao bullshit.

You’re saying it’s wrong, except when china does it

Stop misrepresenting what I'm saying. For the third time:

I am saying there is no genocide in China, because if there was, other Muslim countries would respond.

lol. There is plenty of evidence supporting genocide in china. You know it, but being Wumao, you can’t talk about it or even research it. So therefore you tell lies.

You’ll tell me it’s for “job training” or something, lol

Well the first paragraph claims "Forced birth control and sterilization policies targeting Uyghurs in China’s far western Xinjiang Province were intended to reduce the group’s population", which is proven false by the increase in population and life expectancy.

This was no accident. Wikipedia: Affirmative action in China

For example, minority ethnic groups in China were not subjected to its well-publicized (former) one-child policy.^[^^2^^]^^[^^3^^]^

Notice how they didn’t say the killing wasn’t happening.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There was killing happening: by CIA-backed fundamentalist terrorist cells that went on knifing sprees, set off bombs, and ran over crowds with vehicles. The Chinese state didn’t intervene for no reason, and I’m sure the vast majority of local Uyghurs and Hans alike were happy to no longer be attacked by terrorists.

Once you’ve seen enough “color revolutions”, you start to notice a pattern.

And by the CCP ordering the deaths of Muslims. Everyone is a bastard.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are super-duper convinced of the Cold War II propaganda we’re being fed 🤷 I’m sure the Chinese state has nothing better to do with their time and resources than kill their own Muslim population for fun and profit. That doesn’t sound cartoon villain-y at all.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When you say it like that, anything sounds cartoony, so no, you’ll have to try another tactic Wumao. Get that money!!

You’re clearly not about to undrink that Kool-Aid, so there’s no point.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You and I feel exactly the same about each other. However, I won’t have my family abducted for speaking the truth. Sorry for your situation, I know this is how you pay your bills. Job is a job.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can’t imagine someone simply having an informed opinion that differs from yours. I can only be a paid foreign agent sowing discord. More Snidely Whiplash-quality analysis.

Laughing my fucking ass off at your logical fallacy.
