The most that can be said about China mistreating Uyghur culture is that they’re commodifying it to drive internal tourism. Making suspected jihadists take community college courses on why sexism and religious intolerance are bad isn’t destroying a culture, nor is banning salafist practices that aren’t part of uyghur culture.
You obviously don’t give the Uighur people the benefit of the doubt either since there are millions of them who are happily living in Xinjiang. Go visit sometime and see for yourself

Thats the best case of what might be happening, but I dont give states the benefit of the doubt.
except when it’s America spreading bullshit, then I believe it uncritically!
You’re giving the US State Department the benefit of the doubt by entertaining the highly discredited assertion that any sort of genocide is occuring

I would actually like to visit China. It’s not first on my list (chiapas, cuba, someplace with aurora all edge it out) for the food alone omg.
but I’m poor as shit and bad at languages.
I’ve just been there. Shit load of Uyghurs.
