      Their answer from my last interaction:

      -western propaganda

      -uyghurs themselves love it

      -not forced labour but a vocational school the government put these people under

      -amnesty and UN is lying and unreliable

      -only reliable source is the blogpost they linked

      -it’s all anti terrorism effort

      -western propaganda

        The more consistent take I see simply poses the ugyur genocide falls under a similar definition that includes ongoing genocide of black americans, which tends to meet a lot of resistance.

        But much more than that: what I see is issue being taken (usually at the media), with comparing Xinjiang to something like Gaza, while often also denying Israel is committing a genocide.

          Or the genocide of indigenous peoples in North America, which alsi receives “resistance”, of a somewhat apopleptic fashion.
