Why the heck is this so strongly downvoted? This seems like a reasonable point — maybe I’m just missing something.

- aaron695 6y agoWhy are people down-voting on the principal you are innocent until proven guilty? Lets hash this out, what will you do when/if we find that the 3 letter agencies and other bodies with good translators and good intel are found to be right and there is no genocide being committed? Will you then ignore the demolishing of the Uyghurs artefacts and the large amount of 'education' camps? China has documented very detailed rebuttals to most of the serious (rape, death, sterilisation) claims so far. I think they would allow you check their sources as long as that's it, is this the request? Meanwhile the Ethiopian massacres barely get a mention on HN.
- kennywinker 6y agoInnocent until proven guilty doesn’t mean you don’t get investigated when there is evidence there may have been a crime committed. I’m not asking to check sources - i’m asking for free and open access to uyghur communities for journalists - in a way that would allow them to confirm or deny the claims without putting the people they interview’s lives in danger. I don’t know about Ethiopia, but I do know that almost every purchase i make funds the ccp, not ethiopia - which makes me culpable in a genocide
