Claims in 2017 by a communist party member cherrypicked from 400 pages of documents in Chinese is very little incriminating in terms of what I’ve been asking from the beginning: material evidence of ongoing widespread mistreatment of Uyghur. We can move the goalposts to the claim “there are some officials in the Communist Party of China who have too hard, arguably racist and repressive stances regarding Uyghurs” if you want, but it’s not the original claim to which I’m responding.
BBC and New York Crimes both repeated Hasbara propaganda of widespread rapes during Oct 7th, which is exactly the same thing we’re arguing here. They don’t need to “make things up”, they only need to take a few instances of abuse, generalize them, and run a nonstop atrocity propaganda campaign for political purposes. Media manipulation in this regard is more refined and effective than, say, conservative propaganda like “Jan 6th was actually antifa”, which consists on simply manufacturing facts.
China isn’t a perfect state, and I don’t make such claims, but arguing about genocide or persecution of an ethnic minority is a very serious claim that, being a topic that in theory affects millions of Uyghurs, would have led to massive amounts of footage by smartphone owners as we have seen from Gaza
