His name is Adrian Zenz, a middle aged German man who doesn't speak the Uighur language or Mandarin or any Chinese language and has never been to China
He's a devout conservative evangelical Christian who has gone on record saying he believes he is on a mission from god to destroy the PRC
If you did enough research on your links to find the original sources for each of your sources you would find almost all trails lead back to him
I find it especially funny a German his age would be throwing around accusations of genocide, I wonder what his father did during the 1930's and 40's
He fabricated the Safelite imagery?
Does the satellite imagery provide any evidence of genocide?
lmao yes you dumb fuck, this isn't 2019 motherfucker keep up with the news
What do you mean? I was referring to the satellite imagery of the reeducation camps as corroborating evidence he couldn't have fabricated. Unless you're saying he did?
You don't understand what is happening here plain and simple. Of course there were education/training centers which the imagery showed focused on a vulnerable group of people who have had ties in the last 60 years or so to global terror networks. Instead of locking up people indefinitely, China's approach has been to cast a fairly broad net (many Uyghur people who've been influenced by the progenitors of a form of Islam which has a complicated history from Saudi Arabia to many groups of extremists like Al-Qaida and ISIS and shit.) But that net is to educate and train for good paying jobs (almost entirely for free for those people) in an area with some of the highest standard of living raising in the world. It has been very effective too, because an area that suffered many terrorist attacks from this network has since had almost none and standards of living have increased at almost unseen rates.
The speculation that these education centers were actually prison "camps" or whatever is entirely fake. There are for sure prisons, and people who collaborate directly with those planning and executing attacks are put in there just as any other country does. The satellite imagery mostly showed the education places from what I understand, but you can't see the classrooms or training from space. Nobody thinks that satellite images are fake, just that they showed either random buildings or training centers and claimed that millions were sitting in it with the only source being Zenz.
Please direct me to where "GENOCIDE FACTORY" is written (in English of course) on the roof of the random building the Washington Post told you is bad and evil
See how fucking dog brained you are?
A satellite took pictures of some buildings. Clearly genocide must be happening inside them.
The satellite images are only corroborating evidence if every other evidence in the report is sound and reliable. But since Zenz just straight up invented statistics from thin air (or is unforgivably bad at math for an adult), the images are just compounding lies.
If I invented a story about Obama owning an adrenochrome harvesting baby farm in the Virgin Islands and showed you a satellite image of the roof of a warehouse, would you consider that corroborating evidence? Like what the fuck man
let's say these claims are true. let's "steel man" your argument and just ignore all our reservations and concerns. Let's begin by ignoring all evidence pointing towards exaggeration/malfeasance by western "news" sources citing state department propaganda about a clear US enemy during a time of increasing tension, and let's just say yes, ok, you're right, China is genociding Uyghur Muslims. What are you advocating be done in response to that? An invasion by NATO of a nuclear armed power that nearly all NATO countries rely on economically in order to stop the genocide? That would mean WW3, at the very least.
How about America, before it can claim any moral high ground over China, before shedding crocodile tears about what its geopolitical rivals are supposedly doing, to justify some kind of intervention supposedly on behalf of Uyghurs, close down its fucking ICE camps and guantanamo bay and the CIA black sites and get its CIA agents out of the middle east and stop buying the products of this alleged genocidal slave labor from China which is used to manufacture cheap goods for US consumers? All of this is so clearly in order to manufacture consent for some kind of military action, whether true or not. Also let's be real, none of this concern trolling about Uyghur Muslims strikes me as genuine, at all. The US just got done bombing and occupying 8 different muslim majority countries from 20 years with its "war on terror." And before/during that so-called "war on terror" the US was arming/training far right religious extremists (Mujahideen, precursors of the Taliban) as a proxy force against the USSR in Afghanistan, and far right religious extremists and separatists (ETIM) as a proxy against PRC. The US government has never cared about Muslims. They're just pretending to as a way to pivot from fucking with the middle east towards fucking with BRICS.
