    Any source from anywhere could be propaganda. Here is your chance to debunk the BBC report if you want.

    You are confusing banning news production by foreigners with banning transmission of foreign news.

    BBC probably did make it difficult for Russian state news to access UK social media users after Russia invaded Ukraine for their “three day special operation” (obviously a lie from the start). They probably did not forbid access to the Russian journalists wanting to film in the UK.

    China probably forbids BBC news with their great internet firewall. I know they ban the Tiananmen Square massacre imagery.

    I don’t think UK forbids Chinese from filming in UK. China did not forbid BBC from filming in China either but they did try to forbid filming the detention centre.

    Again: how does China stop every single Uyghur adult from taking pics with their smartphone?

    Not “every single Uygur”, just the ones locked up. That is how detention works, even in the West.

      Which is why I’m bringing up things such as the overwhelming lack of photographic evidence over the 5+ years since the claims started, not exclusively blaming the BBC.

      Very convenient how the burden of proof is on me to prove that a report is fake. Casting away fake news is easy and doesn’t require any research or effort, debunking them is more complicated. How about this: the lack of photographic evidence from the BBC or any other report is enough for me to deny the claims of genocide.

      No, I talked about both, I gave you the explicit example of the lack of Chinese state media in US institutional press releases.

      Good. Things like this are why there isn’t a pro-fascist movement in China, unlike the western world. China is progressively opening up now that it has enough soft power to maintain the western propaganda at bay, whereas the west closes up to Chinese social media by banning Tiktok or requiring it to have american ownership.

      know they ban the Tiananmen Square massacre imagery

      Yet you can readily find pictures of it happening, how come you can’t find pictures of a 5-year-long genocide in the age of smartphones?

      Not “every single Uygur”, just the ones locked up

      The reeducation centers are almost all closed already. I’m not arguing there wasn’t a reeducation campaign for a few years in Xinjiang targeting Uyghur people as a measure of counter-terrorism, I’m arguing that it’s already over (hence no news since 2022-2023) and that it doesn’t remotely constitute genocide.
