Don't move the goalposts. Your original assertion was: "cage full of emanciated sexually assaulted children in xinjiang"

Please point out the cage full of emanciated sexually assaulted children in the photo or the link, because I don't see any.

I'm assuming you're posting this out of ignorance but yes that is what is happening in Xinjiang

I haven't been able find any sources for it that aren't just evidence-free accusations cycled through publications and ending at Adrian Zenz. The real stuff I can find is that the children whose parents have been taken are essentially in orphanages slash boarding schools (which is extremely hosed up, but aimed at the adults, with the kids as collateral damage), and that people in general have been pressured to put their children in schools that are heavy on teaching a mainstream Chinese culture. Kids of accused dissidents are also institutionally isolated from other kids. The word "sinification" is used, but it would mean teaching Chinese culture *to the exclusion of* Uyghur culture, for example making Chinese the primary or even the only language, and I personally can't find evidence of that kind of program. So, I guess yes, if I'm full of poo poo here, it's ignorance.

Even then, people interviewed for e.g. this piece https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/09/china-internment-camps-uighur-muslim-children/569062/ make it sound like the regular Uyghur kid isn't being isolated from their family, but instead the families are afraid that the children are bringing influences home and becoming a threat to their traditions and cultural integrity in a way. I just haven't found the evidence to seriously suggest that we're talking about cultural eliminationist policy rather than national unification policy (which is hosed up, don't get me wrong, but Italy and Sweden-tier hosed up). Maybe you can hit me with evidence that makes me regret these posts though?

This argument would work way better if China wasn't totally cool with keeping the lama system around, just with party approved figures. See the panchen lama thing for examples

thank god their enlightened neighbors sent in troops to peaceably occupy their country and save them. Oops, I mean 'sent troops to an area that was already 100% part of the country and always has been' which is why it was cool to send the troops. Totally not imperialism, because they were so unenlightened!

Again, most of them were closed or turned into museums....so I guess...they did interfere.
