These narratives have real world consequences. Anytime you mention Xinjiang or that China is committing a "genocide" to liberals and conservatives it helps spread this shit. It helps reinforce Sinophobic narratives and will result in more deaths. Combat these lies and this propaganda where you see It. It is our moral duty to do so.

    What is a credible source to you? I don't know what to say it's not going to be hanging out in mainstream news channels. (Not that I'm necessarily accusing you of asking for this) I mean it has kinda lost all its meaning at this point because it has been said to death but nearly all news you see from the region is from Adrian Zenz, a Christian fundamentalist, who is on an ordained mission from God to destroy the CPC. Generally, speaking I would put the onus on the accuser of genocide to you know prove it. All I have time to do right now is share this video on it. https://youtu.be/8yURIS7S9zg

    I'm sure other people here will probably be able to provide a more in-depth breakdown

      I'm sorry but you ask "what is credible" and then post a video of a guy using the worst vocoder and wearing a ski mask and glasses like he's in a ransom video, and it's over an hour long with less than 25k views? That would honestly make a good comedy bit, worked right. I'm not saying it's maybe not a good source, but honestly I'm not watching that.

        “Somebody explain Xinjiang to me”

        “I’m not watching that” ok. There’s no genocide happening, how about you provide the evidence that has you convinced there is a genocide, so people know why you think that in the first place so they know what it is that needs to be explained.

          I mean to be fully honest, I actually am watching it now, it's just funny posting this as a credible bit (again not saying it's not, just surface level). I'll get back to you when it's done or I'm done watching it at least.

            I’m not the one that linked it to you. I haven’t watched that video yet myself but I’ve seen others by that guy, he tends to cite all his sources.

      As for what I'd count as credible, Idk, maybe a good on the ground reporter?

        Have you seen a credible good on the ground reporter that says there is a genocide?
