  Was on the way home and in the time, some good responses already. But on my take: Much of the world, including Muslim-majority nations, support China’s policies in Xinjiang and as predictable as posting pigpoopballs, the :international-community: “condemns” it. I think it’s also very telling when Isnotreal suddenly comes out of the woodwork “condemning” China’s actions in Xinjiang, literally while footage of Gaza getting bombed and journalists shot down is broadcast to every telly in Johannesburg.

  Anyways, going through the UNHRC report, there is not one mention of “genocide”, “forced labour” is merely followed by “allegations of” and there is a passage on China ratifying laws abolishing the practice a decade ago. Even allegations of “crimes against humanity” is an ambiguous “may”. So in summary, it’s merely allegations and no conclusive findings. There is a critique on the UN report (as well as other topics related to Xinjiang) available on Qiao Collective.

    I’m really having difficulty in understanding your post (I don’t know what isnotreal, pigpoopballs or a CRH380A is). It seems that you’re saying that because the UN report was not definitive that crimes against humanity are being committed, all of its findings can be ignored?

      The report is at best, “allegations” or “possible”. Nothing’s really definitive in it, as in no conclusive findings, yet it’s supported by western (mostly American) anti-China hawks. So yes, it could be ignored. As for the first part,

      1. CRH380A is a high-speed train in China.

      2. Isnotreal is a specific Apartheid ethostate that is occupying and terrorizing Palestine.

      3. pigpoopballs is this: :PIGPOOPBALLS:

  This comment addressed that pretty well.
