It’s really frustrating, I was talking to someone about how successful China has been in de-radicalization of reactionaries. But they responded to this by saying they’re only successful because, and I quote “put them all in concentration camps and killed them”

Has anyone here been successful in deprogramming people about this topic? If so any good sources I can use to dissuade them? I tried telling them that the UN report, if you read it, just says that there’s concerns about abuse by internment offcials, and there’s no evidence of genocide. But when I say this they just dismiss it as if the UN is controlled by the PRC. It’s like a religion to liberals to believe anything bad about China and can get really frustrating.

    Schrodinger’s rules based international order. When the UN announced the investigation and in the immediate aftermath of it, liberals praised it and held it up as evidence of how obvious China’s crimes are. When you dig deeper than article headlines and read what they actually said, however, everybody knows they’re in China’s pocket and you can’t trust a thing they say - just look at how often they condemn Israel!
