That propaganda:
A) is being spread by adrien zenz, a nazi paid by a cia front group to spread shit, who claims God gave him a personal mission to destroy china
B) is old news that was abandoned when the area opened up for tourism again, and there were magically no camps
C) isn't believed by basically every Muslim country on earth who sent delegations to see what was going on, meanwhile the US which cares so much about Muslims it is enabling genocide against muslims as we speak thought it is happening before they walked it back. Give me a break.
Does dissuade from the fact that only Communist-party backed candidates can appear in the election. This was the reason there were so many rioters in HK. And hence, why so many were imprisoned or ran from the country for asylum elsewhere.
Propaganda is a made up narrative to persuade an objective viewpoint. What is happening with Uighurs has a lot of factual video evidence, including first hand reports from those who fled to Türkiye. If it is so untrue why won't China allow visiting diplomats talk about it?
Unbelievably crass opinion. https://www.wired.com/story/xinjiang-uyghur-culture-tourism/

The HK riots started over the lae that allowed extradition created to get a guy who murdered his wife in mainland China and then fled to HK

Lol Wired. And the first link to a claim is straight up from Adrian Zenz.
In your opinion. Most of the world has a different opinion. I wont bother responding to your alternate account. Seriously, using two accounts to barrack a differing opinion, sigh.
You state a lot of BS while providing absolutely no evidence to give it any credit, other than your bias towards the west. What links does this guy have to "wired" or the many other media sources that show exactly what is going on in China.
Almost all of the Muslim world including US allies share my opinion actually:)
I do think it is funny that you think I have an alt just to tell you you have shitty takes twice. Two people just disagreed with you enough to comment.
R/selfawarewolves
The wired article you shared literally relies on Zenz to cite many of its claims, as do basically all media sources who previously claimed it was happening.
I'm guessing you have a working brain, learn basic research literacy.
So yet again absolutely nothing to substantiate your point of view. GL with your life.
