“my friends” is not valid evidence of genocide , thousands of pictures of dead children and destroyed cities is

Nobody ever accused china of bombing cities and murdering children. You’re thinking of israel. Genocide can take forms other than bombing and starvation. Residential school system in Canada is considered a form of genocide on the native population. We dont have to literally bomb them out of existence to be considered a bad thing

Make a claim

i really don’t understand all these people on .ml (who clearly aren’t chinese) bootlicking for china look, i’m a “communist” as well… i hate capitalism, blah blah blah… you guys are right about so many things. china is great, the west fucking sucks. i 100% agree… but i don’t understand why it has to extend to, “ALL criticism of china is invalid”… china has a clear objective of unifying the nation and the culture. and that means pushing out the non-han minorities such as the uyghur people. is this achieved through extreme violence? of course not. that’s barbaric and not-subtle. china knows how to play the long game. decades if needed. the west doesn’t see anything beyond a 4 year election cycle…

That’s a lot of words to avoid saying “I believe China is committing genocide because they are doing ____”. You have a friend over there but haven’t said what their experience is. You have said genocide doesn’t have to look like Israel but haven’t specified how it applies to China from your perspective. Make a claim.

it’s a family i know here, who left china due to oppression… nobody said anything about violent genocide. i really don’t need to type out the whole thing because why waste my time getting downvoted? you’ve all already decided that talking to uyghurs is fake news…

I mean, it’s just the entire crux of your argument. I’m also not the same person you’ve been talking to. All I did was ask you to make a claim instead of vagueposting about the definition of genocides being pretty wide and getting on a soapbox. It’s hard to have discussions when you refuse to communicate about the topic, but rather delve into meta-commentary as soon as you’re asked for any details that have brought you to your conclusion.

the claim is right there in the OP’s meme… “…china is oppressing uyghurs” the meme suggests that the only evidence comes from some fucker named adrian, whom i’ve never heard of, and RFA and falun gong. i merely suggested that first hand accounts from my friends might actually be valid… maybe at least something to think about… but apparently everything is western propaganda… so discussion is already non-starter anyway. it was a fun afternoon of earning capitalist value tokens while pretending to add value at work… thanks all for the discussion
