      Republicans have been complaining for years that RFA is incompetent.

      It is, it's just Americans' media criticism skills are an OP counter.

      IIRC, that's basically how it went with the WMDs Saddam supposedly had.

        Breaking: Leaked aerial photographs depict steel cylinders located somewhere within the Asian continent. State department experts indicate that this is damning evidence of a genocide in the act. No we did not ask any followup questions.

      That's kinda already in the OP: "China's information is locked down so tight that our experts must be correct." Meanwhile we would never let the UN inspect our migrant camps.

    So when is the west going to make their covid vaccines open source? Since they would never withhold crucial, lifesaving knowledge.

      No no no... You see, you can't release vaccines into the public domain. It's just not possible. Rich people simply wouldn't hire smart people to develop vaccines if it didn't make them even richer. And yes, that's the only way to develop vaccines, everything else would be socialism and bound to fail every time.

      No. You see, those countries are full of dumb and poor people who cannot possibly make a vaccine correctly. It's dangerous to let them make the vaccine because they will do it wrong and kill people.

        It sucks ass that that is the main rationale that shits like Bill Gates are giving for this vaccine apartheid, and it seems to be considered acceptable.

      I'm sure that the most reddit addicted city, Eglin Air Force Base, is upset that they are being left out of this discussion.

      This Film is dedicated to the brave ETIM fighters of Xinjiang

      this is a bit more absent minded than the average one. it's like they forgot how things work for a second rather than saying a little too much.

    If there's any source I'd absolutely 100% trust about mistreatment of Muslims, its Washington DC. They've always had Muslim prosperity at the forefront of their actions.

    What genuinely baffles be about this genocide bullshit is that at the end of the day if all of it was correct, what do liberals actually want to do? Sanctions aren't an option because China controls worldwide production to such an extent they could easily destroy America by just not producing goods for a singular week. The only other option is unleashing World War 3 upon us. Like yeah. Great.

    They are probably noticing how light the narrative feels and trying to use the iron curtain narrative to handwave it. Like just on a gut level it doesn't make sense to say China is doing a holocaust, but somehow is producing less incriminating evidence than Abu Ghraib. Through this whole thing you have people freely traveling between China and hundreds of other countries including the US so how would censorship even work. It just feels absurd.
