    The reeducation camps were closed years ago

    I found this from Amnesty International earlier this year. It says that “Uyghur and other non-Han ethnic groups in Xinjiang have faced torture and ill-treatment, arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance”. It mentions “internment camps” and it doesn’t say those camps have been closed.

    BBC was constantly airing lies of the genocidal maniacs of Isntreal, such as mass rapes during Oct 7th in an attempt to do atrocity propaganda against Palestine to justify genocide. They’re literal genocide supporters.

    Here you have an interview with an openly lying genocide supporter on prime time.

    The BBC airs the views of many people, but it doesn’t mean the BBC agrees with those views. E.g. they did a high-profile interview with Prince Andrew about the sex scandal surrounding him. That doesn’t mean the BBC agrees with everything Prince Andrew said.

    On the topic of Israel and Palestine, I have seen Palestine’s head diplomat to the UK interviewed on the BBC, multiple times I think, such as this.

    based not on independent journalism but on supposed “anonymous interviews”

    Anonymous interviews are part of journalism. Some people don’t want to provide their names because they could be persecuted. Maybe you dislike the fact that the BBC is not “independent” because it’s owned by the UK government. In which case, look at the articles I provided from The Guardian and Sky News - neither of them is owned by a state.

    TLDR: I don’t understand how people who are supposedly on the left try to defend human rights abuses just because they’re done by countries that aren’t allied with the US.

      Do you condemn the ongoing US genocide of Italians? I, as an anonymous source living in the US, witnessed a bunch of soldiers rounding up people and demanding to know if any of them were Italian and anybody who raised their hand was executed by drawn and quartering.

      If you don’t accept that this is happening based on my testimony, you’re a genocide supporter. Why do you hate Italians?

      I found this from Amnesty International

      This is about a deportation of Uyghurs from Thailand. The reference to “torture and ill-treatment” is to their 2021 “study” which consists of… You got it: anonymous interviews!!

      Since you like Sky News (Australian equivalent of FOX) so much: 2023 article showing the camps are long closed.

      You keep proving that you have no idea about the topic, you didn’t even know that the camps were closed years ago. Yes, anonymous interviews are part of journalism, but go ahead. Open your phone, and google “tiktok Gaza” and find this week’s videos of genocided Palestinians. Now try and find the slightest shred of video evidence for mass mistreatment of Uyghurs: you won’t find it. In 2025, in the smartphone era, where literally every Chinese citizen holds a recording internet-connected device, it is simply impossible that there is an ongoing genocide or even mass abuse of Uyghurs without being documented.

      I don’t defend human right abuses, I just don’t buy into western anti-china propaganda based off “anonymous interviews” in 2025. I’ve been to China myself and there is perfect freedom to record and do whatever the hell you want with your phone, and VPNs are easy to set up and not prosecuted. As a leftist, you should consider why the west cares so much about Chinese Muslims when it hates Chinese and it hates Muslims.

        Yes, but it mentions their assessment of the situation in China.

        Sky News (Australian equivalent of FOX)

        Wrong. The British Sky News is different (owned by Comcast, who also own NBC and Universal Pictures). Murdoch sold it. But Murdoch does still own Sky News Australia.

        You keep proving that you have no idea about the topic

        I provided stories that you have been unable to disprove. Everything they say stands until you can disprove it.

        I don’t defend human right abuses

        You’ve spent the last few posts doing exactly that.

          You can’t disprove anonymous testimonies, that’s why the entire Amnesty International report consists of them. From the beginning I asked for independent journalistic work with material evidence, and you’ve supported your claims with nothing the likes of that. Again, compare that to the evidence for genocide in Palestine.
