    What’s wrong with it?

    It links to things which are no more believable than the propaganda from the US and UK. Why should I believe any of them?

    I bet you’re naive

    I don’t take what the west says about china and believe it. US media is a complete shitfest. But it really isn’t hard to believe, based on the thousands of reports from muslims, and the secrecy of the Chinese authorities, as well as their global approach to criticism.

    I am motivated not by a trust in the West but by a distrust in the CCP

    most powerful muslim countries

    Yes, well-known for being reliable and giving a shit about human rights…?

    World bank

    That report you linked to seems to be about aspecific set of funding, not about the situation in Xinjiang as a whole.

    Do you need motivation to do good things?

    Individuals motivate themselves to do good things. Organisations never do, and the CCP is an organisation. They are extremely powerful, and accountable to no-one. Their only responsibility is to destroy any threat to their power.

    The West is the same. Thanks to the nightmarish capitalist system we have, it’s a dog-eat-dog, selfish part of the world.

    The irony of you saying this is that I’m not saying the west is good, while YOU are saying China is good. So why are the CCP inherently good when every other organisation on the planet is riddled with corruption???
