Talk about being out of touch. The Uigher and Hong Kong propaganda was built for when Trump was around. It has disappeared now. When it was around, HN posts amplifying it got massive upvotes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24879870 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24879870
Even if Uigher thing is important for you for personal, professional or ideological reasons, you need to wait for the correct timing if you are to be heard.
- md_ 5y agoIt seems pretty inhumane to see the victimization of minorities in China purely through the lens of US domestic politics, but ok, sure. It’s not about the human rights issues, it’s about…upvotes from American HN readers?
- ComradePhil 4y agoUighers in China are Muslims and like Muslims in many countries, they are groomed by the Middle Eastern allies of the US... with messages that align with the US interests. In China, that has meant creating unrest by fueling anti-government rhetoric and separatism. China noticed this and decided to fix it the way they know how... and they have done an incredible job... so the only thing the west got out of it is crying "racism" to their clueless peasants.
