    It’s the fucking US state department lmao of course they’re gonna say whatever bs they can. The point is that even they stopped short.

    What they have done in Xinjiang after ETIM’s attacks is built vocational training centres, infrastructure, and started integrating it better into the rest of China’s economy, i.e the core material reasons why someone would have to resort to extremism in the first place. Which is a far better response than other countries and has been successful, hence the muslim and global south countries approving of it.

      Sounds exactly like Canada’s residential schools. Which is considered an attempt at genocide

        Canada’s residential schools were forced on an entire population. By most estimates, the proportion of Uyghurs in these “camps” is similar to the proportion of Black people in prison in America. Is America conducting crimes against humanity or a genocide on Black people? Ok, maybe.

      What a strange way to say “kidnaping children and sending their parents to concentration camps”.

        Projection. Ig it’s hard for the western mind to imagine a government tackling the material reasons for a problem instead of just harming people.
