    AP has been selling the genocide in Gaza for Israel, and is not credible. Your second link is backing up my version.

      ‘“The genocide is still happening but it is just much more covert now,” Turdush said.’

      That is a direct quote from the article you say backs up your version, so I’m glad you agree with me that China is committing genocide.

      Also, the AP is the most reliable news source on the planet.

        Re-read that article then. No one is making claims of deaths. Even the west has softened it to “abuses.” What deaths is your article claiming?

        And those “abuses” were putting them in detention while they were de-radicalized, and your article acknowledges that they’ve now been dismantled, because again they were largely successful.

        The AP has a long history of manufacturing consent in coordination with western propagandists. They’re helping sell the Israeli genocide as we speak.

          Reread the definition of genocide because it isn’t restricted to deaths. Forcibly sterilizing people and destruction of culture are also included in genocide. That being said, deaths have occurred in the camps through malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, withheld medical care, and violence (beatings).

          https://web.archive.org/web/20250106020345/https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/04/19/break-their-lineage-break-their-roots/chinas-crimes-against-humanity-targeting

          The facts are that China imprisoned more than a million people from a specific ethnic group in concentration camps without due process. Treatment in these camps included forced labor, family separation, and indoctrination. There are multiple reports of forced abortions, forced sterilization, forced birth control, rape, and torture.

          As a result of family separation and forced birth control, the birth rate of Uyghur areas of China fell 60%.

          Claiming the AP is selling Israeli genocide is a blatant lie.

            Again, re-read your link. They aren’t forcing cultural appropriation either. They deradicalized them, re-integrated them into Chinese society, and dismantled the camps.

            It’s obvious you’re really concerned about the loss of a western destabilization force, and not the actual Uyghurs, because you have no objections to the intelligence agencies radicalizing them in the first place. But it’s oh so offensive to you that they were rehabilitated.

              They aren’t forcing cultural appropriation either

              I said they are forcing cultural indoctrination.

              They deradicalized them, re-integrated them into Chinese society, and dismantled the camps.

              They were not offered due process, so there is no proof they were radicals in the first place. “Re-integration” is another word for indoctrination which is a violation of universally recognized essential human rights. Yes, they dismantled the camps but only because they moved the prisoners into the prison system. All this is said in the article you keep telling me to reread.

              It’s obvious you’re really concerned about the loss of a western destabilization force, and not the actual Uyghurs, because you have no objections to the intelligence agencies radicalizing them in the first place

              Citation needed.

            AP caught again just last night spreading hasbara, misreporting the threats the IDF was broadcasting to the flotilla.
