I think it's important for us to get on the same page on this topic so that we can push back effectively against the mainstream narrative in the West.
The rhetoric is driving countries to ban products coming from the region and cut ties with companies that employ Uyghur workers without conducting any sort of proper investigation into the matter: https://archive.is/k1oTj
I'd also like to bring up the uptick in anti-asian hate crimes that have been occurring for a while now, which I imagine all this China-bashing in the media has helped to enable, although the role that the Xinjiang issue plays into this is probably minor compared to that of the covid misinformation.
Finally, I think this is a good opportunity to educate people more on media literacy so that they become less susceptible to this kinda stuff in the future.
