      It’s the fucking US state department lmao of course they’re gonna say whatever bs they can. The point is that even they stopped short.

      What they have done in Xinjiang after ETIM’s attacks is built vocational training centres, infrastructure, and started integrating it better into the rest of China’s economy, i.e the core material reasons why someone would have to resort to extremism in the first place. Which is a far better response than other countries and has been successful, hence the muslim and global south countries approving of it.

        Sounds exactly like Canada’s residential schools. Which is considered an attempt at genocide

          Canada’s residential schools were forced on an entire population. By most estimates, the proportion of Uyghurs in these “camps” is similar to the proportion of Black people in prison in America. Is America conducting crimes against humanity or a genocide on Black people? Ok, maybe.

        What a strange way to say “kidnaping children and sending their parents to concentration camps”.

          Projection. Ig it’s hard for the western mind to imagine a government tackling the material reasons for a problem instead of just harming people.

      frankly, the US is STILL fighting in the middle east after 9/11. the chinese has shown more restraint and milder treatment towards their local terrorist group. so i’d say they’ve handled it better than the west ever could.

        Lol irrelevant.

        China’s treatment of these people is indefensible. Defending it in any regard just leaves you wrong my dude.

        Look at all the people being clowns trying to declare nothing is happening because “official genocide” hasn’t been committed

        They still don’t call Gaza genocide. Why the fuck are you listening to them about it at all??? lol
