    Yeah, a lot of people have realised that the "genocide" narrative isn't true, but sadly still talk about how "China is probably still treating ungers badly in Zin-jang. I don't have any proof, but China is just evil like that."

    They've internalised the part of the propaganda the US state department wanted them to, so mission accomplished.

      Thing is, I don’t doubt there could be excesses or “missteps” carried out in the Xinjiang anti-terror campaign. Not because of the eviiil CCP organ harvester regime or whatever but by the nature of the operation and the cards China are dealt with. It runs parallel to certain events in the Soviet Union, like the numerous cases of Russian chauvinist bureaucrats and officers abusing their positions to take care of “Japanese spies” (ethnic Koreans on the onset of WWII) or “Islamist reactionaries” (in Central Asia).

      Of course, you can’t even talk about something like this with a critical eye in front of Western liberals because they are all but guaranteed to take a mile when given an inch when the perceived “enemy team” concedes.

        Yeah I agree. They cast a very wide net and a lot of people had to undergo vocational training that didn't need to. It sucks to have your entire life put on hold like that.

        though yeah, any sort of admission that mistakes were made is used as proof that the whole thing is just as bad as their imagination when it comes to libs. They'll do the "both sides bad (but the side I already opposed is worse)" thing they always do.
