- Koiwai 6y agoNo I don't donate to political agendas, And I despise anyone advocating for them.
- grandinteg3 6y agoIs advocating for human rights a political agenda?
- luminaobscura 6y agodonation page reads: "Your support will allow us to: - Provide emergency humanitarian relief for Uyghur refugees - Interview concentration camp survivors and help tell their story to the world - Campaign to end "business as usual" while Uyghurs are suffering crimes against humanity" Which one these do you despise exactly?
- Koiwai 6y agoTrust everything you read on the Internet, sure.
- ardy42 6y agoWhy don't you petition the PRC government to open up the area to trustworthy reporters and to cease reprisals against locals who speak to them? You claim you're Chinese, so that's your right per Article 41 of the constitution. Pretty much anyone out of Xinjiang who criticizes the government has increased credibility because of all the attempts to suppress information. If you think this group has issues, your bitching is going to fall on deaf ears unless the situation on the ground changes.
- Koiwai 6y agoBased on past records, Chinese government have no reason to trust those journalists (that they are not influenced by CIA). Your point of view is that the western world represents absolute justice, and you can judge us based on your value system, this is not the case, at least from our viewpoint.
- ardy42 6y ago> Your point of view is that the western world represents absolute justice, How did you come to that conclusion? That is not, in fact, any position which I have expressed. > and you can judge us based on your value system, this is not the case, at least from our viewpoint. Of course, and it's kinda bonkers to think that I would use someone else's value system to make my own judgements. Also, please make the petition I suggested. I would like to find out how it goes.
- Koiwai 6y agoI've already explained, we can't agree on a mutually acceptable definition of "trustworthy reporters", so this will not happen, ever. Example: IAEA versus Iran. Yes, in a sense, You can judge us however you like, also in that sense, we're not obligated to accept your judgment.

- dijksterhuis 6y agoOkay. Other people might like to though. And I don't despise you for having an opinion.
- Koiwai 6y agoFor the record I'm Chinese, not Uyghur though, have friends and college came from or have been to Uyghur area. Also, read dirtyid's reply.

- Koiwai 6y agoIt's interesting that I got -4 on most of my replies in this thread, I'm wondering if they're the same 5 IDs.
