US sponsored hate is behind those genocide accusations.

ok, source?

  1. China faced terrorism in Xinjiang. Fine, some people got arrested. It's main response was education and job creation programs. Xinjiang prosperity has grown higher than average of Chinese provinces, with high investment levels. The genocide declaration is political persecution meant to impoverish the region to destabilize it rather than a principled view where "every more heavy handed act with actual documentation of intentional extermination" (Palestine) would be genocide.

so all my listes sources are us propaganda?

also please give me some independent stuff about that terrorism problem, with independent I mean something, that didn't run through chinese censorship (which I belive you can't deny exists)

also reeducation is inherently wrong tbh, you just force your values on others by the state

also those "jobs" that are created are slave jobs from what I've read

only because some province prospers, does not mean it doesn't repress a group of people, when slavery was still a thing in the us the slaver states actually prospered the most

now, I think the uighur situation is pretty well documented for the fact, that there are no legal independent chinese media outlets

The US has political corruption power in imposing determinations of genocide. Reality has no relevance to US Empire's political will.

ok, but from what I've read they're sterilizing uighur women, kill them enslave them and "reeducate" them (reeducation is a nice term for destroying a culture)
