Genuinely wondering, how many more Uighur Muslims have to die before associating with the Chinese Govt. becomes bad optics? I understand this is a Chinese university but we all know all entities in China serve the agenda of the Chinese Govt.
- thelittleone 7y ago> how many more Uighur Muslims Sadly it will take a LOT more. Public outrage has an increasingly high tipping point and a very short lifespan. Governments, Corporations, PR agencies all know this. Is the average person on the street even aware of the plight of the Uighur Muslims? Contrast that with the recent forest fires in Brazil.
- goatinaboat 7y agomany more Uighur Muslims have to die Consider that Western companies make a huge fuss about “diversity” over here but not one single one of them has ever hired an Uighur in China.
- ReptileMan 7y agoBetween 0 and infinity. As long as the people are just making noise on twitter they will be ignored. Problems require real struggle and sacrifice. So far nobody in the west is punishing those corporations by boycotts. Nobody is throwing all their made in China stuff on the street. Nobody is making million people marches on the Chinese embassies. Why should they change? Uighur Muslims are the latest cause celebre to feel good about how virtuous we are, not really solve their problems.
- thuideres 7y agoYou can call this a whataboutism, but if a million dead Iraqis hasn’t hurt the US reputation, then I doubt China is going to suffer too much of a hit to theirs. Especially since they are mainly locked up in internment camps, which many countries have, so they can’t push too hard without looking hypocritical.
