- threeseed 6y agoI suspect the people of Hong Kong or the Uyghurs will have a different view.
- FooBarWidget 6y agoEven if those people have a beef with the CCP, and even if Adrian Zenz’ stories about Uyghurs are true (which still remain to be seen, as there are many flaws in his methodology), what does that have to do with the rest of the world? Do you think that the US’s Hong Kong “Human rights” bill really does anything to help the ordinary citizen of Hong Kong?
- vkou 6y agoIf you really want to help the Uyghurs, offer them passports, or refugee status, instead of using them as an excuse to start another cold war. They'd appreciate it more, it would be cheaper, and it would be far less likely to escalate into a shooting war. But given how Syria went, we know that given the option between bombing a place for some geopolitical aim, or taking Muslim refugees, the US would take the first option every time it presents itself. That's because nine times out of ten, the humanitarian plight is the excuse for war, not the end to itself.
