    one of the few recognised minorities by the Chinese state

    What kind of state would recognize a minority that it is trying to erase?

    we know this because Adrian Zenz, senior fellow and director in China studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation

    Stopped listening there. If you are going to unashamedly cite a hack whose beliefs are more or less in line with the Westboro Baptist Church’s, you don’t deserve to be taken seriously.

    I think that most of the world has forgotten about the Uygur ‘genocide’ conspiracy theory because it is nothing compared to the actual extermination that neocolonists are committing against the Palestinians. The evidence is overwhelming: leaked plans to deport Gazans, recordings of Gazans suffering severe damage, openly exterminatory statements from the politicians, the army and society, and thousands of lower‐class Palestinians who can attest to the intentional destruction that they and their loved ones experienced. See Electronic Intifada.

    What do Uygur ‘genocide’ conspiracy theorists have? Let’s see, some anonymous sources, class rooms that look kinda sus, a few videos that look kinda sus, a dozen stereotypical Uygurs coincidentally next to Washington swearing up and down that it’s all true, more anonymous sources… umm… some media personalities like Zenz insisting that it’s all true… uhh… what else… oh, centrist think tanks like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International! And, uhh… I’ll think of some more later, don’t worry!

      Yeah, it's hard to insist what China is doing is a "genocide" when we can see what a real genocide looks like in Palestine. Though once western libs forget about Gaza, they'll likely drum up the Xinjiang narrative again and it'll be front page news for a month before the US attacks China.
