I’m frustrated that this keeps happening (aid money ending up in rich people’s pockets)

Is there any way to mitigate this?

Why don’t they want it to end?

Ok so I did read about the affirmative action policy you linked, how does that support your argument?

I guess my main issue with your argument is that I’m not convinced of the reliability of the sources you’ve cited regarding the situation in Xinjiang.

Despite your criticisms of Wikipedia, I believe the users of the site do a good job of vetting the information that’s there.

I do think it’s valid to criticize the US broadly, and I likewise think it’s valid to criticize China when they appear to be doing mass internment and “re-education” of their minority groups.

I am inviting you to consider this question!

I’m aware of what it is. I like to use it to learn about things that generally have agreement among internet users. Why do you think that your sources aren’t being used to edit the pages on WP? (Genuine question)

I notice no Wikipedia links in there 👀 Edit: my mistake there is one and I will reply separately

Cheaper than hot war

Why does she look like a damn giant next to these people? Is that a child army?!

I’m like… surely they will just buy these from China now?

Source: RT. I’m gonna have mine with a bit of salt (skepticism)

Ad hominem, zero points

The first paragraph of the first link you shared:

The U.S. State Department’s Office of the Legal Advisor concluded earlier this year that China’s mass imprisonment and forced labor of ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang amounts to crimes against humanity—but there was insufficient evidence to prove genocide

So basically you’re saying “don’t worry they’re just doing crimes against humanity but not technically genocide.” Not a great argument IMHO

This article seems to say that China has shifted to subtler methods of subjugation, possibly due to Western sanctions. Not that it was fabricated.

I’m not here to argue about the definition of genocide. IMHO, if there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Can you provide a source for your claim that “western media has backed away from the claim of Uighur genocide”?

In addition to the arbitrary detention of Uyghurs in state-sponsored camps, government policies have included forced labor,[5][6] suppression of Uyghur religious practices,[7] political indoctrination,[8] forced sterilization,[9] forced contraception,[10][11] and forced abortion.[12][13]

Sure, nothing to see here /s
