Zenz's issue with the Uyghurs isn't the genocide stuff anyways. He's completely fine with wiping muslims off the face of the earth. He's upset that women are getting agency, and that the communists are the people that made this happen.

cultural genocide is a real thing imo from the perspective of what Turks have been doing to the Kurds and it’s usually pretty easy to distinguish from the traditional genocide versus the Armenians. it’s bad.

the UN says genocide can't be cultural alone it has to be physical destruction, killing, stopping births. even relocating a group doesn't count. not that their definition supersedes general understanding

I think this thread's insistence to take a maximalist opposition to western propaganda is stupid. even in china people know that the government response in Xinjiang isnt ideal, isn't "as nice as normal school" (which you justify by saying no school is nice?), but if they support it they will likely think its to better integrate people there to avoid separatism and violence. There were occasional terrorist attacks from the mid 2000s to about 2015, and now there haven't been.

It's from the black book of communism, which I don't think has anything to do with Zenz or the victims of communism memorial foundation, although the later has I believe drawn on it.
Iirc it never outright states it's counting nazis but there is a discrepancy in the figures used which coincidentally is about the number of dead nazi soldiers.

i have no idea, personally. there is no “good faith” in any of the information coming out and I know Turkey funds extremism and have had people ask me to donate to The Cause back in the mid 2000s. I get a little unnerved when the idea of a cultural genocide is rejected completely because I can’t think of a better way to describe the Turkish approach against the Kurds and I think it goes beyond assimilation. i am willing to examine a different kind of approach that better ties the intentional destruction and denial of Kurdish culture, language etc and the violent reprisal against their expression to a materialist framework I guess. I’m not really an expert or even well read on this topic, I just know some horrible horrible poo poo has happened and still happens to valorize a fabricated Turkish nationalist culture.

There have been even more public mass-stabbing attacks taking place outside of Xinjiang, done by Han Chinese, but of course those never get classified as terrorism. Just crime and "mental illness"

If you go exclusively by what the Chinese government has announced or made public, the answer is mass extrajudicial detentions on the basis of religion and ethnicity.

so the claim here is that any mass stabbing has to be called terrorism or what?

yea I had a feeling that was just a weird reskin of "OH WELL YOU DON'T CALL WHITE MASS SHOOTERS TERRORISTS" lib bullshit but I genuinely don't even get the comparison because it's not 'mass stabbings' that were the major Uyghur terrorist incidents? They were bombings and very focused single stabbings, all targeting other Uyghurs.

Any articles with specific details will always be extremely minor (metal detectors + flags = genocide) while mixing in proven lies from zenz about millions of people in jail, or every woman in xinjiang getting 84 iuds. so stupid! ZENZ DOESNT EVEN SPEAK CHINESE! HE CANT EVEN INTERPRET HIS OWN FAKE DOCUMENTS!

net iud placements is the funniest drat statistic because if you use it without explaining it a normal person thinks whoa wtf eighty percent of iuds in china are done to uyghurs?!?! but if you do explain it a normal person will just go whoa wtf a statistic where you can have negative one hundred percent why would anyone ever use this?!?!

I mean yes, that does sound stupid, because we're talking about Han supremacy and it's weird that you think asian countries are incapable of xenophobic policies, because they all still have them to varying degrees.

Not quite, just that minorities and muslims are just as capable of being mentally ill, or conducting attacks on random civilians for non-political reasons.

It's "extrajudicial" in the sense that there's no court record for most of those sent to compulsory re-education camps, and Chinese law has specifically authorized public security and administrative bodies to handle their cases without the involvement of any judicial body. We know this because the CCP's own english language white papers have boasted about this 'flexibility'

It's really not so confusing. The documents record every IUD insertion and removal, for every region. But there's a huge disparity in Xinjiang in that most of them aren't ever getting removed.

The criticism that "Zenz doens't even speak Chinese so how can he read the documents!!??!" has always been a weird one. He obviously hired a translator. If he's outright making up an english translation then it should be simple to prove errors in every sentence.

the reason xinjiang has a huge disparity is because the people living there only recently got access to iuds at all so of course their rate is up the wazoo if no one who lives there already has an iud then of course nobodys removing any the only reason to use net iud insertion instead of just iud insertion is if you want to use the scarier sounding eighty percent rate rather than the significantly less scarier sounding eight percent rate and are counting on people not knowing the difference between the two

and all of this ignores the fact that zens and friends conspicuously avoid using more recent statistics because if you look at them over five years rather than just a single one out of context its much more difficult to make the argument that theres any kind of long term plan in place to genocide the uyghurs

You can't just invent "Han Supremacy" like it's always been a thing.

Edit: And White Supremacy isn't just codified xenophobia, it is a centuries old colonial construct upon which the totality of Western civilization has been formed. China didn't go through that period of colonialism.

If you guys want to take a break from arguing about "birth control is genocide" or whatever, my favorite White Person in China YouTuber is doing a series in Xinjiang. First video is just a long vlog of her and her husband's two day train ride from Chengdu to Kashgar. It's like 18 minutes long and not particularly interesting unless you really like slow trains but she should be posting the videos from their time there in the coming days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlvwzPe0eJU

She likes to go well off the beaten path and speaks good mandarin (as does her Chinese husband, of course) so there's typically a lot of remote villages and interactions with locals in her stuff. She's never been overtly political and I doubt any of this will be explicitly framed in a "DEBUNKING Western Propaganda" way so I think this series will probably be more interesting than any of the other White People Visiting Xinjiang stuff I've seen.
