Please don’t put any hate comments against the developers of lemmy or against the person who posted this.

I am also unhappy about what the main lemmy instance is doing.

What are your thoughts?

    fine, so let’s make it a circle.

    you and your original point that links to this only source that I used within this discourse:

    Even US state department denies the Uyghur genocide. Give it a rest already.

    me:

    You are aware that this is just about semantics? It’s not about if those crimes against humanity that some call genocide are happening, it is if those crimes against humanity should be called genocide or differently. Stop gaslighing.

    [then quotes from the source that you used to suggest that genocide is non-existential]

    “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,…”

    Some more quote from the article:

    “Secretary Blinken and I have made clear that genocide has been committed against the Uyghurs in Xinjiang,”

    “I have determined that the People’s Republic of China is committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, China, targeting Uyghur Muslims and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups,”

    “For example, the torture, rape and sexual violence committed against Uyghurs likely constitute genocide ‘by causing serious bodily and mental harm’—the second type of genocide recognized by the Convention,

    “More than 1 million Uighurs have been detained in reeducation camps, and many have reportedly been subjected to forced labor and sterilization. China has committed numerous crimes listed in the convention as acts of genocide, including the prevention of births and infliction of bodily or mental harm on members of a group and the compulsory separation of children from their communities, according to human rights groups.”

      Again, I’m only making those point to show how your original point has been very missleading. I’m not saying that this is a credible source or something it’s just a source you used for your claim so I picked it up.

        My original point was not misleading, and I provided lots of sources to support it in my follow up comment. You continue to ignore them and to make false statements.

      you and your original point that links to this only source that I used within this discourse:

      My original link was to show that even state department lawyers in the country pushing the genocide narrative aren’t willing to call it such. Then I provided many more links that contradict the things you’ve quoted that you conveniently ignore here. Stop trolling.
