> Interestingly, that's another claim for which you have provided no evidence. Isn't this just common sense? > Why don't you research this question yourself, and see where Gaza pops up in the list. No country AFAIU allows entirely unimpeded access to war zones for international observers/journalists. > Based on your reasoning, I'm guessing you're satisfied with everything China has to say about the situation of the Uyghars and how it treats them. No, I'm just saying you can't always expect using international observers/journalists to get to the truth to be a realistic strategy depending on the situation. OSINT and other reporting is also useful. > But the way, the British spell words you've used like "analyzing", "organization" and "de-radicalizing" with an 's' not a 'z'. But you know this because, as you claimed, you are British, right? I said I was a British citizen among a couple others, I did not grow up in the UK, I grew up in the US. I am also not a citizen of the country I was born in either.

>Isn't this just common sense? No, it's a claim. Common sense is the ability to make practical, reasonable judgments in ordinary situations using basic experience. Basic experience would be establishing this happens first. >No, I'm just saying you can't always expect using international observers/journalists to get to the truth to be a realistic strategy depending on the situation. Okay, so whose statements are you trusting more on what's going on with the Ughurs? <The Chinese government> or <anyone who is not the Chinese government>. I think it's fairly apparent that you aren't British (except by passport), and it's likely you are digesting largely US news sources. When you said you were British, I assumed you were claiming that what you identified as, but perhaps that itself is a British colloquialism. I'm going to stop responding here. I'm sure you're a decent person, and you think you think you are seeing the other side.

Yeah, technically my other passports are from countries that were historically controlled by the British at some points in time, although that's probably a fairly large percentage of the countries in the world.
