    This is still happening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

    So let’s play a game. The USA is bad, and China is bad. Your turn.

        I have not stake in this, but here you go: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/china-uyghur-uighur-turkey-oppression-rcna97238. I took one at random that was semi-recent and look somewhat relevant.

        Just look at the date of the references on Wikipedia and you will find plenty.

          This shit is so tiring.

          NBC is pretty shit that almost every hyperlink is to another nbc news but one of those hyperlinks go to Safeguard Defenders and other go to Amnesty International and both direct to a report made by OHCHR which just cite Adrian Zenz and his propaganda made by Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

          Holy shit is just impossible to find a source that doesn’t have bullshit propaganda. For any lib reading this, if a news source is citing a propaganda piece they are not writing news, they are writing propaganda.

            I just took one at random and read the first few lines to make sure it was actually on topic. I have no clue about NBC News credability, I only wanted to illustrate that there were a lot of resources linked in the Wikipedia article, since BrainInABox asked for them.

              that there were a lot of resources linked in the Wikipedia article.

              Yeah and all of them go back to Adrian Zenz.

              You talking about a fucking genocide “reading a few lines” is insulting.

                Please educate me.

                A primary source is a source with first hand information (e.g. a witness) or a source that does not cite other sources as their source. Disregarding the credability of NBC, how does the article I linked not fit that description?

              The burden of proof is on you. I can only provide context for the claims that have been raised. If you look at the sources they’re all western

                Technically the white papers linked come from China, typically, but these are presented alongside western sources as the dominant viewpoint.

                The burden of proof is on you.

                The burden of proof should be on you since you claimed https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/xinjiang as a source?

                Also, talking about burden of proof here makes not sense. You provided a source, one can either trust it or not. And the question was if you belived it to be true or not (which I assume you do since you linked it. I haven’t read it).

                  The burden of proof is on you since you claim: “There is a genocide happening in Xinjiang”. I can’t prove a negative. The proof your type (western propagandized libs) usually provides are western sources, which have been debunked by providing context (in the link I provided)

                    I’m not Tabooki2, I’m only here for the intresting dicussions and different view points and arguments. What stuck with me was the Tabooki2 asked if you believed what was stated in your link to which you responded with “the burden of proof is on you”.

                    When a claim is stated, the burden of proof is on that person. My argument here was that you claimed a source, and if proof has to be provided the claimer should have that burden. But that is a strange take since a a source is a proof and one can chose to trust it (or not).

                    So in the end, I was confused about your comment and tought you asked Tabooki2 to verify your source for you, not the original claim about “the treatment of wighurs”. I appologise for the confusion on my part.
