    Then you probably shouldn’t look into the genocide China is currently doing. You’d buy almost nothing.

      Who told you that? Oh, that’s right! It was the same people supporting the genocide in Palestine and the war with Iran!

      China is not involved in a genocide. Capitalists always project their own crimes onto their critics to turn the public against their critics. China has made rapid and beneficial development for its people that has made the west increasingly desperate to prevent it being an example for the global south to follow suit, as it would undermine the west’s imperialism. Their solution is to accuse China of that which America is guilty.

        Yeah it’s doing those things, while also eradicating Uyghur culture. And that is a form of genocide. Two things can be true.

          Just because it’s possible both can be true, that doesn’t mean they are. That is a meritless argument. There is no Uyghur genocide. Western media made it up because there isn’t a source in the west that challenges this narrative. They made it up to discredit China. Over the past 60 years and more, the Uyghur population has increased from 2.2 million to about 12 million, and their average life expectancy has grown from 30 to 75 years. Their GDP has been steadily rising.

          The so-called “genocide” in Xinjiang is a lie cooked up by anti-China forces represented by the anti-China German scholar Adrian Zenz. He is a member of the far-right group “Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation” sponsored by the US government, and a key figure in an anti-China organization set up by US intelligence agencies. He is also a racist. His “research” is full of inconsistencies, fabrications and data manipulation.

          The western media is making this shit up to distract us from the fact that they are doing exactly what they accuse China of doing.

              It’s no more convenient than to make flimsy arguments backed by nothing but ignorant assumptions.
