My question aims to know what kind of procedures did the Chinese government (allegedly) take since 2014 in Xinjiang, and why to begin with. And what can we know about the region in the current time, like can a random tourist go and see with their own eyes the truth, and maybe film it ?

There are Youtube videos and a Wikipedia page “documenting” human rights infringements, while China and the Marxist forums deny anything harmful. Now that almost nobody is bringing it up, I want to know what was legitimately documented. Investigating the origins and later developments of the case on my own would be so hard.

    Be mindful to read the usernames in this discussion, it initially gives the appearance of diversity but there are only a few people weighing in. Make of that what you will.

          Being direct and honest with your actual opinions, of course. Issuing vague warnings rather than actually engaging. These are cowardly behaviors.

            I don’t really have any strong opinions on this topic, that’s why I was here to read and learn about it. I was just pointing out that certain people were more heavily represented in this discussion than it initially appears. It’s quite odd, I don’t understand what emotions you are trying to project onto me. I haven’t been a hostile jerk, so why are you?

              Saying “certain people” is a good example of the passive aggression I’m noting.

              Just share your actual opinion or acknowledge that you’re afraid to do so.

      I’m aware that mostly I’ll be receiving pro PRC narrative here, but I’m okay with it, atleast half of the mission is complete. I’d like to see answers from liberals or anarchists or pro Türkiye if possible too. This is the largest Q&A forum on Lemmy.
      I might try later to post to the asklemmy of lemmyworld or to Reddit for more diversity.

        Generally speaking people on a forum can only give you breadcrumbs. Rather than spend time polling libs that know nothing but propaganda and memes, it would be a better use of time for you to personally critically research the claims made, those who made them, and exercise media criticism in doing so. Check sourcing, funding, affiliations, and loaded language and content.

        I mean, you certainly can poll the libs, but you will just hear things that you will need to later unlearn, and it is easier to build understanding by doing things in the opposite order: learn the material and then hear (and spot) the BS.
