This whole thing is such a mess, I have no idea what to believe. I feel like I’m kinda biased in favor of China but there’s genuinely no neutral sources anywhere. Every article leads back to this one clown Adrian Zenz.
But there’s too many statements from actual Uyghurs to dismiss that there’s some really bad stuff going on.
You'll find the the "testimony" always comes from expats with ties to lunatic right-wing lobbying groups or who are based in Turkey.
The Turkey connection is really interesting. IIRC there have been Uighur volunteers involved with the jihadists sponsored by Turkey in the Syrian Civil War. Turkey is also closely aligned with Qatar, which has been struggling with Saudi Arabia for hegemomy over global fundamentalist Sunni Islam, especially through its control of al-Jazeera and influence over the Muslim Brotherhood.
this is exactly how i feel. i'm at the point where i think it is literally impossible for anyone in the western world to have a good or informed opinion on china

You'll notice their testimonies tend to be as trustworthy as people who defect from North Korea.
