I could go on and on about Adrian Zenz, his terrible methodologies; about terrorist groups trained by Isis and utilized by American for creating unrest in Xinjiang; stats about real population numbers in Xinjiang; about differences between American and Chinese anti-terror efforts regarding radical islamic terror groups; about infrastructure building in the area, investment by China; about the number of mosques per capita; about the preservation of regional identity that Xi is working towards; etc. Etc.

But, regardless, just saying that I don't believe that there is religious persecution in Xinjiang means, in their eyes, that I don't care about our Muslim brothers and sisters.

It's similar to talking about Hong Kong.

Libs use these places as tools to spread liberalism, so caring about the actual policies, people, and reality is a disadvantage to conversation.

How can I approach these subjects?

    Actually i didn't say any of those things :) Please read my messages again if you're confused!

    improving material conditions reduces extremism

    Yes, in the long term.

    But what about right now? I just had a terror attack in my city this year. I can't wait for material conditions to get better, and they won't improve immediately even if we literally get communism overnight. That's why i'm concerned RIGHT NOW and want a concrete answer. I don't have the privilege to wait for the racist whites in my area to magically be fixed by their material conditions improving.

    Speaking of material conditions, it's super weird how there's a ton of white rich, educated nazis who have great material conditions that still hate my family tho. Almost like.... material conditions don't tell the whole story and there's more to it than simply class concerns?
