      Ah but you see the Australians stumbled into doing torture by accident, whereas China does it deliberately due to their Marxist-Torquemadist ideology!

    China isn't even running the reeducation program anymore. It achieved its goal of integrating the rural Uyghur population into the national economy, building for them better economic options, more political representation, and fighting back against Wahhabist ideas that had been imported to the region via the Taliban. If the world was sane this would legitimately be held up as a massively successful de-radicalization program - not without its overreaches and mistakes, sure, but one worth emulating and improving upon elsewhere in the world.

    But because libs are racist they see educating against Wahhabism as being anti-Muslim. They see more political representation as indoctrination, and better economic options as slavery.

      integrating the rural Uyghur population

      Important to note that they were re-integrating religous extremists, not just "rural Uighurs". Westerners believe that re-edcuating radicals doesn't work (because they don't view Muslims as humans), so they call it "genocide" because it furthers their aims of destroying the new China.

      And AFAIK Wahhabism is considered heretical (as much as such can exist outside of Catholicism) by the majority of Muslim sects. It's entirely constructed from non-canonical sources.

    Didn't the U.N. already do this and found no evidence of genocide?

    https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/08/1125932

    Okay well they say human rights violations.But not genocide.

    China also has a counter report

    I don't think there is a genocide going on. You just have to look at israel and see how much proof a genocide leaves behind.

    I'm sure someone much smarter than me can explain how there is no genocide taking place in china better than I can.

    Said it before, and I'll keep saying it ad nauseum everytime its brought up:

    Even if we accept for the sake of argument there's a genocide in Xinjiang of the Uyghurs, I am an American living in America and therefore I (and any serious person in similar conditions) am more pressingly concerned with the currently ongoing genocide my own government is funding and assisting in.

    Anyone out there still moralizing and grandstanding about the uyghurs in the year 2024 is only interested in how they can be used as a political prop.

        Not true! In order to keep plausible deniability, they make sure every visit is completely scripted front to back in order to hide the industrial scale cultural genocide. The mosques are all decorative and worshipers are highly trained actors

          After doing a shift at the mosque for fake prayers, Uyghur Muslims are forced to spend hours in the Maofucius worship center

        I hate that if it weren't for your inclusion of the smuglord emoji and humorous spelling of CCP this could 100%, no exaggeration, pass as a real lib comment. I've seen that exact counterargument deployed on more than one occasion.

      They have had independent investigators from over 100 countries. I don't know if things have changed, but last time neither the US nor any EU member had accepted an invitation, despite being given one several times
