The uighur party member that got the 2 year suspended sentence will probably end up serving life in prison. Funny how the white power post neglects to mention that in their hitpiece

Whataboutism again dude, that's a North Korean not even the same Uighur as the one you are insinuating as being coached

Yeah I guess it's perfectly okay and normal to immediately victim blame the tortured Uighur lady just because some North Korean made up claims due to financial incentives four years ago when you put it like that. It's not like it's reprehensible, even if the claims weren't true. That kind of emotional sympathy must really endear you to your female friends!

What Xinjiang apologists actually believe:

quote:

"If not for the [Chinese] government, I would someday become a terrorist," said one detainee while wiping tears from his eyes.

All of the detainees ABC News was granted permission to speak with said they had "applied" to go to these "vocational centers" — a name given by the Chinese government — and that they were being detained voluntarily.

I thought they were being genocided.

https://webcache.googleusercontent....n&ct=clnk&gl=us Anyway, the highly right wing Jamestown Foundation did a good writeup on the situation of American-backed IS terrorists returning from Syria, but amusingly deleted it from their production site for some reason.


quote:

While it is known that a large number of Chinese Uighurs have travelled to Syria to fight, how many of them are still alive and will be returning to China is as of yet unknown. Many returnees may be arrested and imprisoned during their return; however there is still the potential for individuals to sneak back into Xinjiang via Central Asia. As they return, they may bring a newly Islamized narrative and motivation which will challenge the predominantly separatist ideology of traditional Uighur attacks. To be clear, China does not face a threat of thousands of fighters returning to wage an open battle. Rather, the risk of foreign fighters returning is in the potential for a small few to slip through the security cracks and re-enter their communities, or to exit detention programs without disengaging from violence. Once returned, they can become powerful force multipliers who may introduce leadership, technical and tactical knowledge, resources, and radicalization methods to the community [8].

http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...in-xinjiang/The Jamestown Foundation has also taken down all its articles contradicting the emotionally charged narrative that the western media is pushing, like this one.

There is a good citations needed podcast episode on why regime change liberals like you have no other cards to play other than the whataboutism card, which was tailor built by the state department during the cold war so the west could continue to concern troll countries like India and China while engaging in heinous poo poo like the Vietnam War. Things still haven't changed. American liberals have no good explanation for why China is being backed by the majority of the middle east other than some vague whining about buying friends, which is something they'd never do obviously

Everything the west accuses china of doing it does itself. This "I am rubber you are glue" bullshit is just going to get worse as America continues to decline and has to resort to increasing levels of projection in order to keep liberals occupied with a foreign boogeyman. I am shocked that RFA hasn't accused China of setting up concentration camps for undocumented immigrants yet.

The fundamental reason why hypocrisy (which is "whataboutism" boils down to) isn't generally a valid argument is that two wrongs don't make a right.

I mean I know the answer to why they keep trying to change the subject is there were just 90+ posts of literally genocide apologia and the only way they can handle that "hey look over there" but seriously let me remind the world that Peven Stan, Typo, and Horseshoe Theory looked at Holocaust trains to concentration camps and said "heh yeah but what about ICE."

Here: ICE is bad. Abolish ICE. There we're done with that.

Now back here in the China thread, a religious minority is being shackled and sent off to camps by the millions. That is bad.

Just because your employer decrees it to be true doesn't mean that it is true. This isn't the cultural revolution- repeating mantras and aggressively policing the groupthink in the thread just makes western liberals look desperate. Despite all the sturm and drang, why hasn't trump commented on the alleged millions in camps? Surely he could use that as a wedge in trade negotiations?
