I could just say how the Guardian, BBC, AP and obviously Reddit have been shown to be militantly anti-China, but I really want some links that could be cited. Anyone have anything that refutes these four links? Tried Dessaline’s debunk list, other person just claimed it was “word salad” and gave me these four links in the first place. Not really trying to convince them at this point, but want to get rebuttals out there for other people to see.
Specifically, I’ve heard that most of the “Uighurs” interviewed are actually from the same group of people every time, and they they’re not Uighur. Anyone have any reputable links for this?
Not to be flippant, but honestly, I do feel that we shouldn’t be constantly going after these news outlets for their lies; after all, I do feel that their strategy is to make us constantly make rebuttals to them, therefore distracting us.
I personally think it’s important to post refuting evidence whenever fake news about China shows up, not to convince anyone in power or the media itself, but to help average people in the West get out of the propaganda trap. Maybe I’m just naive or a hopeless idealist, but based on what I’ve seen, many, maybe most people actually mean well and are concerned about the wellbeing of Chinese people when talking about “human rights issues” with China, and they’re genuinely misinformed because they’re constantly surrounded by anti-China propaganda. Those are mainly the people I want to reach with these rebuttals because they’re most likely to be pulled out of that propaganda trap, I know because I was once one of those people before I really started reading up about communism (which all started when I joined Lemmy, funnily enough).
