    Where did I defend the CCP or communism?

    (I do fully support communism and have critical support for China, but that’s not the question here)

    What evidence would change your mind about […]

    Show me evidence that the Uyghur are being persecuted

      You’re a Lemmygrad user, they’re going to assume that’s your intent by default

        The communism preference, yes. As for the CCP: They literally denied Uyghur persecution. Not even genocide, which is a claim that, due to its severity, is always going to be hard to prove, and thus debatable, I get that.

        But even just the fact that the ethnic-religious group of Uyghurs are being persecuted on a large scale, had to be denied. That’s pretty extreme.

      Thank you for answering.

      I am not sure where to start, but let’s take the easy way: At the moment of writing, the wikipedia page “Persecution of Uyghurs in China” has 585 references.

      They’re probably all written by seemingly independent institutions, journalists and scientists who somehow have a McCarthyist-like fear of communism that they’d risk their credibility just to add a bit of damage to communist China’s moral standing?

      Or are they all factually incorrect through some other mechanism?
