    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.

      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.

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