So I hop on reddit (big mistake ik) and I see this headline about China performing forced sterilizations on Uighur women. I look at the article and is there any actual evidence? Of course not. Its some woman in a Turkish nail salon who claims she performed 500 abortions. I'd like to remind you that Uighur birthrates are only down 4% across China, likely a consequence of increased development.*
So how do the top minds at reddit react?
Modern day Nazis
Neo Nazis
I'd go with Turbonazis
And when people challenge this completely unsourced claim....
Skepticism is good but there is no reason to assume things are not worse than what is being reported.
Weird how this accounts ONLY posts are defending the CCP in their 2 years active. Weird considering the CCP has an active social media campaign paying people to deflect and defend them...
Why do people believe things that are likely just propaganda? Is it 9:00 AM at Langley or do all Americans have brainworms?
*Edit: Seems I misinterpreted this stat, the 4% is a national figure not specific to the Uighur people.
you acknowledge in your previous comment that development (including infrastructure that massively changes economic opportunities) has a direct effect, and then attempt to erase all the other national focused investment, including the link I provided, with this kind of reductive misreading?
eat my shit and hair
I'm saying it's all the above.
Sure, there's some broad development projects, but to see birth rates halved in a little over a few years and think there's no hijinx involved baffles me.
"The information here is a bit muddy, so I'm gonna assume that genocide is happening" is a bit of a jump. Even western countries that try and hide this shit with the manufacturing consent media sphere can't hide genocide. It would be insane to assume that China is getting away with it and the only evidence is census data (released by China) and a couple Turkic separatists.
What's next? Believing everything insane they make up about the DPRK because "well something bad must be happening".
you're filling the large gaps in your knowledge of Chinese domestic policy with the CIA line while a cold war ramps up
nobody thought you could build a hospital in six days either
