The Chinese author of this article doesn’t care about educating American reactionaries, they care about setting the record straight. What they care about, and is the point of the article, is far more important than radicalizing the very few American reactionaries who would actually read the Chinese backed source.
It’s far better to assert that the Anglo governments are being hypocritical on Xinjiang and the treatment of Uyghur, while themselves trying to cover up a long history of genocide, than it is to pick and choose words for maximum effect of educating reactionaries.
A Chinese author is pointing out the long history of Anglo oppression, that also happened to touch China and is currently a factor in PRC - HK relations, and y’all are too busy being upset that they put “embedded in [their] DNA” in the title of the article.
I don’t care about educating American reactionaries either. Notice I didn’t say “to educate reactionaries” or even “to educate Americans”
But you see firsthand how even in a forum full of communists how incredibly successful this statement is at distracting from the main point. You’ve observed this yourself. So you must see where I’m coming from.
Juxtaposing the West’s allegations about Uyghurs with their past and present treatment of indigenous peoples is honestly a powerful way of exposing the contradictions in these states, and showing people that the media and government of these countries are clearly not on the side of oppressed peoples, so these allegations do not come from a place of concern, so they must come from some other motive. This approach has been very effective so far, so I want it to be emphasized as much as possible.
