    I don't think it's beating a dead horse, tiny tank. I was just talking to someone I know about this who was on my ass when I said the whole uyghur genocide narrative was fabrication.

    It's pretty obvious that had China been genociding Muslims, the US state department would have been supportive of it. I don't see how weird libs whose political identity is wanting to smugly be correct and good don't see how their opinions are always directly in line with the US state.

    I do hope it's a radicalizing moment for people,and maybe it is. I don't have a good enough handle on popular sentiment for that.

      I am Chinese, fluent in Mandarin too, but not Zhongguoren/中国人.

      Everytime I read western media writing about Uyghur genocide, it exasperates me.

      Look, I know Uyghur, or Xinjiang to be exact, are heavily scrutinized and watched, but genocide is on a whole different level. You can call current Hamas-Israel war as genocide, but Uyghur?

      The last time I visited there five years ago, I walked on the street and enjoyed busy festive walk....
