Canada's Parliament just voted to declare it a genocide. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/uighur-genocide-motion-vote-1.5922711 And I've been seeing a lot of conflicting takes on it on twitter and here. From what I can gather from researching the main issue is lack of indication of full on genocide there, but there also seems to be a fair amount of evidence that these camps do exist. I fail to see how that is "good" as people on this site appear to be indicating?

    There's an easy way to see if someone has a worthwhile opinion on the subject, or if they're just purely pushing propaganda. What do they think of the genocides carried out by the imperial core? If they're willing to call keeping perhaps a million people in custody genocide, are they willing to call actually killing millions of people genocide (as the U.S. did with indiscriminate bombing in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq)? If they're calling for some sort of action to be taken against China, what sort of remedial action are they calling for against countries like the U.S., Canada, Australia, etc.?
