I literally just came from Xinjiang. Yeah no I'll trust my own eyes and the Uhigurs I'm still in contact with over some article sourcing people who literally have never been there.
This is some "Portland is a warzone"-level shit.
Yeah no I'll trust some rando on social media over actually seeing multiple news threads from several trusted sources and has been widely known globally for the last few decades.
Trusted sources that promoted the same lies that got us into Iraq and Afghanistan.
As far as known globally, you mean known to America and its vassals. Muslim countries have sent delegations to investigate Xinjiang.
But I'm sure the guys who've been bombing muslim countries for 50+ years should be trusted to give a shit about the human rights of Muslims.
That link doesn’t talk about them investigating more like investing.
