This is what I always say, we’re being played for fools spending so much time talking about whether or not there’s a genocide in Xinjiang, which, if true, we’d have absolutely nothing we could do to help, meanwhile Black, Indigenous, and queer folk in the US are being brutalized. The reason it frustrates me is twofold, one because of the point you bring up, that we have no influence on their policies regardless of if it’s real or not; but to me the second point which is just as important, there is no Western Imperialist country with less blood in their hands than China, literally every single Imperial core country has orders of magnitude more deaths than even the wildest imagination of anticommunists could accuse China of having. So what’s the deal? It’s just projection.
