    I’m newer to the “site”, but way to go on making a statement that presumes truth with nothing to back it up. You may be using reverse psychology or be a bot, but for posterity, let’s put out some actual info.

    If we presume your comment to be sincere, then it would logically follow that you would dismiss all the western nations’ legislative declarations that genocide has taken place, and that dismissal would extend to claims made by all the activist organizations.

    How about some reports and declarations from international bodies who jump through hoops to avoid commitment? I’ll link them below, which you can evaluate on your own. An example of noncommittal can be found in the activist criticism against the OHCHR assessment. The assessment goes in great detail of all the human rights abuses but doesn’t mention the word genocide or try to address if it meets the definition. Unsurprisingly, China’s retort to the assessment was “Nuh uh we are fighting terrorism” and NK, Cuba, and Venezuela advocated on behalf of China with “Shhh please don’t publish”

      The UN disagrees.

        To clarify, you’re saying the UN disagrees with the OHCHR assessment…

        Edit: Clearly pointless to continue a thread of comments

        The UN says there’s no genocide of the uyghurs taking place in China.

        I’m a little surprised I was able to make you say something so stupid so quickly. The OHCHR Assessment is a UN statement. It concludes the many claims about human rights abuses are supported and there is cause to claim China has committed crimes against humanity. It never discredits genocide, for—as I summarized previously—it avoids addressing the term genocide completely.

              Journalists: not allowed in Gaza. Despite that fact we have thousands of hours of evidence of genocide.

              Journalists: allowed in Xinjiang. 0 evidence for genocide except for a man named Adrien Zens’ testimony.
