Does anyone have a method of deprogramming liberals who believe in the Uyghur genocide? I have a new friend who is good on Palestine but awful on Xinjiang. Very AP-brained and trusting of western propaganda. He’s well-read and is open to having his ideas challenged, so looking for something well-sourced or he’d probably disregard it. I found a debunking video that came out right after the original Zenz “report” that references a 51-page leaked document released by Zenz. It goes through 6 points and shows how Zenz’s own documents contradicts his claims of human rights abuses. The issue is that it’s from a small creator and I can’t find the referenced document, so I can’t point him directly to the facts and bypass the youtube video, which would likely be seen as insufficient.
This is part 1 of the debunk:

Why is the west oh so concerned about the region? Who benifiets? What is the typical pattern of western concern in a nation?
China discovers oil field with one billion tons of reserves in Junggar Basin in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
It would really benefit the petroldollar / NATOil nations if they coud wedge off a major oil and gas resource and get a buffer bulkanization between China and Russia, 2 major economic competitors to the Petroldollar.
Oil extracted under RMB is profits not in Petroldollars, and devalues Petroldollars.
But NATOil focus grouped “We want to forcefully bulkanize China to suck it’s oil and profits for ourselves. Then have a friendly buffer state to grow more chaos between China and Russia.” And found that was a hard sell. So like they always do - try to make it a human appeal to manufacture a justification for military action.
Behind the U.S. anti-China campaign
they’d be pushing for terrorism in xinjiang even without the oil, in order to get bases there to further encircle china. same reason they tried to push for a “free tibet” (and would resume that push the instant it looked like it could work).
