Well NATO-aligned countries seem to be the only ones claiming that it’s true. There’s a pretty clear pattern in US history. Or are you still hoping for Saddam’s WMDs to show up to justify the fact that due to the US’ use of depleted uranium munitions, Fallujah now has one of the highest rates of birth defects, childhood cancer, and multiple cancers in the world?
- zepto 5y agoOk - so you seem to keep quoting bad things about the US and now NATO, but what has this to do with the truth of what is happening in Xinjiang? Are you claiming the reports are lies? Obviously the CCP and anyone they have influence over will want to play the reports down.
- xtian 5y agoThere are plenty of reports that conflict with those coming out of the US media, and plenty of conflicts of interest (at the very least) in the sources of those reports. What do you make of these two pieces of CCP propaganda? https://youtube.com/watch?v=AaitXSdjFP8 https://youtube.com/watch?v=AaitXSdjFP8 https://youtube.com/watch?v=4N385vKhXYQ https://youtube.com/watch?v=4N385vKhXYQ
- zepto 5y agoDo you not think the CCP has an interest in denying the claims? You talk as if only one side of this is politically motivated. Is that what you really think?
- xtian 5y agoOf course they do? I was being sarcastic about “CCP propaganda” but I guess you didn’t watch them so you didn’t get it. Where have I said that only one side has political interests?
- zepto 5y ago> Where have I said that only one side has political interests? You haven’t, but you have repeatedly cited only one side’s political interests to further your argument that that side is lying.
- xtian 5y agoOh ok. Let me state China’s political interest: to not have their political sovereignty violated and be carved up by Western powers.
- joyeuse6701 5y agoI 100% believe the U.S.G. would use the Uighur situation as a reason for war, despite other more morally lacking reasons (power). I also 100% believe that the CCP would do something to the Uighur's worth starting a war over. The CCP is a military dictatorship, the people running the show aren't elected officials and the people, Uighur and otherwise aren't free to speak their minds or learn except for what the party allows. This setup has never resulted in a good outcome long term. Ever. Let's not be naive, but instead reflect on the preconditions necessary for the abuse of power and recognize the CCP has met all of them in this situation.
- zepto 5y agoAh, so you believe China has no geopolitical aims of its own other than defending itself from being dismantled. This explains the black and white narrative of the US as aggressor and China as victim that you tell.
- xtian 5y agoYou can honestly look at this map of US military bases surrounding China and say it’s unreasonable to frame the US as the aggressor? https://www.wsws.org/asset/614e577a-e542-46f7-b838-fbf522495dfB/image.jpg https://www.wsws.org/asset/614e577a-e542-46f7-b838-fbf522495...

- sudosysgen 5y agoAmnesty international has previously backed factually erroneous statements of atrocities that were pivotal in justifying military action by NATO.
