  Why is China’s persecution of the Uyghurs used as an excuse for the Democratic Party facilitating a genocide? Two things can be bad at the same time, though with genocide and attempted ethnic cleansing being obviously worse.

    First, it’s the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Uyghurs, same as Israel and the Palestinians.

    Second, no excuses here. You brought up the Israeli genocide in a thread that had nothing to do with the genocide and did it in a way so as to seemingly say that China is somehow less corrupt and guilty than the US… It’s not. Neither genocide is excusable or justifiable.

      Then why did the Wikipedia article change its name from Uyghur Genocide to Persecution of Uyghur?

        Genocide is a controversial term.

        Even today, people contest the Armenian genocide, and Ukrainian genocide (holodomir). Even the Holocaust.

      It is absolutely relevant to why Tiktok is being banned.

      Also equating the two is dishonest at best. The images from both tell a totally different story. You are just propagandized.

    If two things can be bad at once, then what’s your issue with people pointing out how China is bad? And why does the US being bad excuse China being bad?

      Aside from US lying over why Tiktok is being banned. The Chinese never claimed, and certainly never weaponized, any of the values that the US is now walking back on to bury the truth of its complicity in genocide.
