Xinjiang: A Report and Resource Compilation

The PRC is not murdering Uyghurs. It's genuinely a complex situation, but you can absolutely rely on the west to uncritically report their paid propagandist and christian nationalist Adrian Zenz of the "Victims of Communism" state department propaganda outlet.

Fuck the US, but saying "lol x is better" is whats silly. Both can be shit at the same time and both can need revolution

Only the US needs a revolution. The vast majority in the PRC support their system and believe it is working in their interests. That makes sense, considering the PRC is socialist, and not under a dictatorship of capital. A revolution in the PRC would only result in the restoration of capitalism, and likely plundering from the US, setting back the global progression to socialism by a century by letting the US Empire last even longer.

the difference here is the uyghur thing is american propaganda while the prison thing is reality.

there's plenty of other things that makes china look REALLY bad, but it's not the uyghurs since it's just the american pot calling the chinese kettle black and; even if it were 100% true; it's not anywhere near as bad american prosecution of SOOOO many groups.
