I'm not very informed on modern China and there's a ton of sources accusing China of killing and even harvesting organs from Uyghurs and Falun Gong believers.

Is there any truth to those claims or is it all pigpoop ?

    (not a historian)

    in pretty much every case, sources for the "uyghur genocide" trace back to zenz Adrian Zenz, a guy who can't read chinese who deliberately makes shit up to support his "holy crusade against china"

    the thing that actually happened is that China had to fight CIA-funded terrorism in Xinjiang; they did so with prison sentences and re-education instead of ultraviolence - it worked, so they stopped doing it (much to the dismay of china watchers)

    Falun Gong is banned because they are a death cult
