Is that the flag for the “East Turkestan independence movement” in the third panel? As a Chinese I’m asking you to not use the flag of a separatist movement as though it is legitimate, especially when you’re comparing it to Israel and Palestine, where Israel is a genocidal settler state and Palestine is a sovereign state.
Xinjiang (what the separatists claim to be “East Turkestan”) is a part of China, the ETIM flag does not represent the people of Xinjiang and thus should not be used in this context.
Thank you for the clarification. What would be the correct flag to use? As far as I know there is no official flag to represent the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
In this comic, all the other balls are sovereign (or semi-sovereign in the case of Japan and ROK) states, so I don’t think there should be any other ball next to China. Israel massacred Palestinians, China did not kill people in Xinjiang.
My advice is to rethink how this comic should work, when Chinese people look at Israel and Palestine we are reminded of Japan and China during and before WW2, not the farce of “Uyghur genocide”.

Let me also remind people that Mao Zedong is accused of genocide at a much larger scale by western media, look at what they wrote here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimes_against_humanity_under_communist_regimes#China . This is already very “tame” compared to more sensational claims elsewhere.
