2016, when Islamic terrorism was still the big bad and western media was praising France for their anti-terror re-education program. this shit sounds a lot creepier than vocational training, too. nothing from Adrian Zenz about France though, curious!
Yeah this makes us look bad because they will just say this. So I would avoid it
Exactly, how do you compare 9 to 2 million? It's absurd.
Wow its wild how China has managed to cram the entire US prison population into just one area the size of Alaska without any material sign of the massive infrastructure that would demand.
That oriental sorcery sure is powerful.
Man, I didn't think people were so eager to dismiss genocide. For shame.
The good thing about basing things on evidence is that when there is none, you can dismiss things.
And no, pure anecdotes are not evidence in the absence of material evidence, especially not when no one has displayed any physical signs of the treatment/torture they claim is widespread.
Ah yes, is this where you dismiss all the field research and life's work of one of the most respected academics in his field because he's a Christian?
Bro his field is anticommunism
He's an anthropologist
Better than the apologists in this thread...
Yeah, an anthropologist who's entire career has been anti China and anti communist. From Tibetans to the Uyghers, the guys just has a boner for hating on China.
isn't zenz known to be the worst? where are the other scholars backing him up?
Everyone should be open to new information regarding Xinjiang, it doesn't make sense for any of us to feel like we know everything unless we live there. But Zenz isn't just an ordinary Christian, he has very radical religious beliefs that absolutely call his credibility into question. I would want someone more trustworthy to be researching an actual genocide. So from your position it doesn't make sense to leap to his defense, because he could end up hurting the cause of the Uyghurs.
Mask off. I think that China is likely doing pretty bad things to the Uygurs, but I do not trust Adrian Zenz for a second.
