Be genuinely honest, what did it seem like for the local uguyrs? Do you think the west interpretation of what's going on there true or an exaggeration?
They are doing fine. I spoke with many of them, and in the rare occasion when politics came up and I mentioned the western line about the genocide there reactions ranged from laughter to outright horror. I ate their food. Danced with them in the public squares as Chinese people of all ethnicities are prone to doing. Their culture is celebrated in China, not suppressed. People come from all over China to experience it. China is very proud of the (I think) 56 ethnicities that compromise their country. It is enshrined in their laws that they are to be protected. The idea that they would just casually decide to snuff one of them out is absurd. And why now? Why didn't they do this when they founded the state?
There is a high security presence in Xinjiang. The state borders multiple countries and has been subject to American backed Arab spring fuckery.
I can absolutely believe in America using groups to try to cause chaos within china, they did literally everywhere else, and now somehow china is the big bad genocidal nation? I hope to see it for myself as my ethnic homeland of Pakistan borders xinyang and I can cross it without a visa i think. Often time the west is projecting the things they very much did and propagandise that's what china or Russia or whoever is GOING to do. When their best buddies Israel, Saudi Arabia and UAE all cause more problems in the world.
There's a channel on YouTube named Little Chinese Everywhere who was in Xinjiang about a year ago. You can see what life is like on the ground there for people in her videos.
Thank you, I'll check it out
