    It’s clear that you equate an empire’s atrocities with their victim country’s self defense.

    Saying “all governments are equally bad” while the US is bombing them outright or funding their destruction is tone-deaf.

        Classic US foreign policy propaganda. It’s not Uyghurs, it’s specific fanatical jihadi separatists among Uyghurs who made a guest appearance among the other head choppers in Syria after the government fell and are openly looking for international support to do the same in China. You’re completely wrong if you think that all Uyghurs want to live under Sharia law in some Uyghurstan.

        You’re basically an ISIS supporter.

        The majority of the world, notably Islamic countries, who’ve been bombed by US and british planes for almost a century now, disagree with you. Only the countries aligned with the US empire are buying this line.

        You can also just go to Xinjiang, and see for yourself, unlike the main person peddling this narrative, Adrian Zenz, an anti-semitic evangelical who works for the US government, and doesn’t speak a word of mandarin.

            Also notably most of the yellow on this map is economically dependent on China

            The countries against China’s Xinjiang policy are entirely Europe, its colonies and Japan.

            And here comes the extreme orientalism and chauvinism. Those damn Muslims can’t be trusted, only the noble White Man can be trusted to tell the truth, after all, their love for Muslims is well known…
