? The UN has thoroughly investigated and concluded that the 'Uyghur genocide' is a fabrication https://www.ohchr.org/en/documents/country-reports/ohchr-assessment-human-rights-concerns-xinjiang-uyghur-autonomous-region I suggest you read it rather than have it filtered through biased western media orgs, and I trust their investigation a lot more than those from countries like the US that have a vested interest in painting China as negatively as possible

Even if the propaganda were true it would constitute a crime against humanity not a war crime, unless you consider the ETIM terror campaign a 'war'

A fabrication? Did you even read that pdf? I quote:

Serious human rights violations have been committed in XUAR in the context of the Government’s application of counter-terrorism and counter-“extremism” strategies. The implementation of these strategies, and associated policies in XUAR has led to interlocking patterns of severe and undue restrictions on a wide range of human rights. These patterns of restrictions are characterized by a discriminatory component, as the underlying acts often directly or indirectly affect Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim communities.

So, no mention of genocide?

[–] j_overgrens@feddit.nl -4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, it's all rosy. :)

No one's said there's not problems and criticisms to be made, but there just isn't a genocide no matter how much your narrative requires one

Here you have comment, from this thread, of someone saying there's basically no problems: https://lemmy.ml/comment/16144139

Denial of racism and abuse by the Chinese state is rampant here on Lemmy, don't pretend otherwise.

Oh and please don't assume my narrative. I hate the US more.

You believe that china is engaging in a genocide first hand?(as opposed to simply supplying the perpetrators like the US )

And still hate the US more? do you live near a strong magnetic source? cause your moral compass is out of whack

Seriously though if you don't have a inherent bias against China, then why do you think their engaging in a genocide of Uyghurs with no evidence?
