Then why does the UN say it's not? Hell, forget the UN, why is it that I can't go a day without seeing physical evidence and pictures of the Gaza genocide, but after ten years of supposed extermination, in a region where far more people have phones and internet access, nobody has seen a single dead Uyghur?
See? You can't even get one response into addressing the inconsistency without backpedaling to do it. You went from "China is committing a genocide, ("fact") to "someone is accusing China of crimes against humanity (allegation of a different thing)". Not even getting into HRW as a source because that conversation will never ve resolved: how does it not give you pause that your very best sources literally do not even say what you claim they do?
Also, and this is the big one, the sources in this article are all just either nameless anecdotes I'm supposed to take at face value, or HRW employees talking in vague terms about the spooky horror and the need to "hold China accountable". I'll dig through the actual report later, but i suspect I'll find more of the same, because if they had more compelling evidence they'd probably just cite it in the article. It's giving me "Hamas beheaded 40 babies" flashbacks. Given the lack of anything verifiable in what you've sent, id like to know what you think of a couple discrepancies between what you say is happening in Xinjiang, and what we know is happening in Palestine:
-In Gaza, we've seen absolute information control, censorship and the deliberate slaughter of journalists. Even so, thousands of images and videos have gotten though. Meanwhile, Xinjiang is open to tourists and travel vloggers. Where is the evidence of atrocity?
-Until Israel collapsed the medical reporting system of Gaza, we had access to a great number of recorded deaths and a documented death toll. Why not the same in Xinjiang? Even if you want to say "oh, because China is keeping them all a secret" then why isn't there even a western estimate?
-Where are the Muslim majority countries publically condemning China like they're condemning Israel? Why hasn't Yemen launched a missile at Shenzen port?
-And the big question, the one the propagandists don't even try to address but just allow the reader's own prejudices to provide the answer: Why? Why do a genocide at all?
Look, I could go on but TLDR show me a dead uyghur
yes of course it's biased, it's literally state propaganda for the UK, a geopolitical enemy of china
Lol.
Ah yes, the devious Chinese have somehow killed a shitload of people (how many people? Millions? Who's to say, you won't even guess) without leaving any evidence behind, which we all know is totally possible to do in the age of smartphones. You're grasping at straws and desperately avoiding questions, and now your ultimate argument is "Well you can't prove it isn't happening!" Which is the last resort of a whiny religious fundamentalist who knows they've lost the argument. I gave you pertinent questions, and all you could give me in return is Qanon-level bullshit about an impossbile secret genocide and "trust me bro". No investigation, no right to speak.
