    It is politicization to be overly critical of China over what is a reasonable solution to peace and prosperity in the region

    So… Forcing an entire ethnic group into concentration camps, forced migration, forced assimilation, and depopulation is reasonable? For what, because there were a couple attacks from some extremists?

    while the west contributes to 1000x worse treatment of Palestinians.

    I wasn’t aware it was a competition? Human rights violations should be criticized no matter who’s doing it.

    That politicization gap shows that there is zero concern for actual genocide or persecution and instead a desire for (or avoidance for Israel for) political criticism independent of prosperity/facts.

    Again… I’m not the American government. I am very critical of the US governments involvement with many genocides throughout history. I am also very critical of any government who participates in similar human rights violations, because I’m not a massive hypocrite.

      Hard proof of all of that has never been produced. Contrary facts exist for all your points.

        What do you consider hard proof?

        As I said, most of the information used has been verified by independent reporters or human rights organizations.

        If you required the same level of “hard proof” as you are dictating for China then most crimes against humanity never happened.

        We have video and pictures of concentration camps, we have verified internal documents, we have demographics released to the public by the offending government, we have personal testimony, we have announcements from the government admitting to moderate the birth limits of an extreme minority in the country…

        What else could you possibly want?

          secret papers can’t be hard proof. Neither is a photo of what may be a prison. There are extremely weak documentaries trying to hype up “re-education”, but the US pledge of allegiance would be equivalent indoctrination.

          If you required the same level of “hard proof” as you are dictating for China then most crimes against humanity never happened.

          at the risk of whataboutism, you have Israel engaged in genocidal mass murder on video. Politics of shit talking China is far more important than any objective principle of oppression.

          We have video and pictures of concentration camps, we have verified internal documents, we have demographics released to the public by the offending government, we have personal testimony, we have announcements from the government admitting to moderate the birth limits of an extreme minority in the country…

          There is genuine context/exaggeration to all of these points. Demographics and income specifically show Xinxiang doing better than average in China.
