The difference is that the sources of Ugyhur camps are literally a religious (and I use that term very liberally) Chinese dissident group that is banned from Facebook for spreading too much anti-vax and Qanon misinformation and human rights groups directly funded by arms dealers that would benefit greatly from a war between the US and China. Meanwhile, the US openly and pigheadedly brags about locking up undocumented people and separating them from their kids.
I’m not saying don’t be mad and disgusted at stories of genocide, but it’s essential to know the full story especially if there are such jarring conflicting accounts.
What I can agree on is that if "Muslim persecution" was the true championed cause, the focus would be on Rohingya people above the Uighurs. There's a lot more documentation and evidence for their persecution, and yet no one talks about it anymore. In that sense, yeah, the constant drumbeat of Uighur genocide really leans heavy on the propaganda side.
I just sketched out when China's state media "corrects the record" by using Orwellian language like "re-education camps" and "curbing Islamic terrorism".

Except, by all appearances, they are literally running re-education camps to curb Islamic terrorism.
Do you not know the background of the terrorism in Xinjiang?
