(Mass dislikes time!)

Yes, the US does evil shit in the Middle East. Killing brown-skinned practitioners of the other Abrahamic religion overseas is an American tradition.

That still doesn't change the fact that China is persecuting Uyghurs in the Xinjiang province.

You can't shit-talk one authoritarian state and cheer on another.

If not reeducation, which method would you prefer China use to combat the foreign radical Wahhabism and terrorism spread by the CIA in Xinjiang for the purpose of regional destabilization and regime change?

We all know how the US chose to implement its own war on terror. Muslim majority countries in the Middle East support China's method.

Previously:

The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing Salafi terrorist into Xinjiang, and once its efforts failed, it made lemonade out of its lemon by concocting and promoting a genocide narrative.

The only countries pushing this narrative are the “always the same mapimperial core countries, which just so happen to be largely the same ones supporting Israel’s genocide.

Almost no predominantly-Muslim country buys the Uyghur genocide narrative, because they know it’s bullshit, because they talked to the Uyghurs themselves.

this post isn't cheering on china, it's shitting on the west's hypocrisy.

also you might want to look up who funded the wahabis who groomed the terrorists that the crackdown is a response to.

"Yes, the US does evil shit in the Middle East. Killing brown-skinned practitioners of the other Abrahamic religion overseas is an American tradition.

That still doesn't change the fact that Iraq is building weapons of mass destruction to attack the USA.

Seriously, how many times do you need to hear it before you western chauvanists realise it's not about "good or bad", it's about trustworthy or untrustworthy.

Its only legal if you just want to steal their natural resources

Listen, I'm sure there's a very good reason why we have radically different policies towards Afghani Muslims and Uyghur Muslims, despite the fact they share a border and a litany of cultural practices.

Well, they can’t let another country move into their game.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

So concerned that we bribed foreign terrorists to blow shit up in Xinjiang, forcing China to spend on education and job programs there.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Thats because those are “terrorists” so its completely fine now.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 24 points 3 hours ago

We’re very butthurt about our failed color revolution, and we’re very concerned that we can’t even manage to make lemonade out of our lemon.

Westerners, every time:

“Our genocides are the good genocides” thinking persisting this long is baffling. Even more disturbing is these people are in power.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 36 minutes ago* (last edited 36 minutes ago)

As long as you critically stan a state, it's okay to support genocide. /s

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Is it though? People hear what they want to hear and believe what they want to believe. No one wants to believe that their privileges are predicated on suffering elsewhere.

Westerners in particularly have always been very "heads in the sand" when it comes to modern history but it's not surprising. Every nation struggles with the darker aspects of their history.

[–] rando895@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 4 hours ago

Yeah like frig China. Why aren't you killing them? Whats wrong with you? Clearly the most morally correct thing to do is exterminate them, what are you trying to hide?

No need to censor, you can say A on lemmy.
