If they were making sensible plans for future population growth in Xinjiang, they wouldn’t be committing genocide there.
- lmm 3y agoThat's a nonsense non-sequitur and you know it.
- philwelch 3y agoHow is it a non-sequitur? It doesn’t make sense to build infrastructure to support population growth in an area where you are deliberately reducing the population.
- lmm 3y agoThey're not expecting to reduce the population. The claims of "genocide" are based on a rather stretched redefinition to include forced cultural assimilation. And the US has more than its fair share of both forced cultural assimilation and deliberate efforts to reduce certain populations, so even if we accept your arguments then that's still no reason to have worse transportation.
- philwelch 3y agoThe birthrates in Xinjiang are plummeting as a consequence of forced sterilization. Your genocide denial aside, the demographics of the region don’t favor your argument.
