Except now you're conflating whatever China is doing with the part of genocide of the western powers against indigenous people that involved boarding schools and whatnot, which China is also not doing. I mean I don't have a completely clear understanding of these vocational schools, but I don't think the government is trying to strip people of their identity or religion or anything. It may be some kind of assimilation potentially but I don't think it's "Kill the Indian, save the man." With this argument, you're really just trying to find another way to continue to propagandize against China.
But why defend the situation if we don't know what's happening? It's almost impossible to find the truth about what's actually happening but defending what could be cultural genocide/ assimilation isn't it. Also, the whole suspected terrorists being sent to boarding schools by the state just doesn't sit right. There are ways to push back against propaganda that don't involve defending oppressive policies.

This is just you being distrusting of foreign governments and enemies of the US. There is no reason to suspect it's anything else other than what they've stated other than some hunch based on the lies that imperialist governments tell. Your first sentence says "why defend the situation". Your second sentence then directly goes on the attack. Your third sentence digs in even more with "oppressive policies". You're telling me I shouldn't defend them, and then you're attacking without evidence again. So what's it going to be? Defend China from baseless accusations or make baseless accusations. There's never really a middle ground because not providing a counter just reinforces the dominant narrative.
I'm too tired to respond coherently but how is there no middle ground? It seems to me like you're suggesting critical skepticism of minorities being sent away to vocational schools is the same thing as the libs parroting CNN and cheering for sanctions. I want imperialists to leave China alone but I guess you're right, I can't bring myself to trust them on how they handle their anti-terrorism campaigns. We can probably agree that its a helluva lot better than bombing the shit out of people though :amerikkka:
