Don't worry, it's definitely not genocide, China is just being a little 'authoritarian' towards the Uyghurs

Is there truly nowhere else in the world where a severe drop in birthrates is happening? Is it truly only happening in China?
The fastest we know of, and during a campaign where there are widespread reports of suppression of the local ethnicity, including forced sterilizations
If "we" is the UN (I dont consider myself part of them), which doesn't even report on Palestine's birth rates since the 90s because it doesnt recognize it as a state. Do you have any non-UN based sources? They are obviously western biased.
Like, there's a lot of stuff happening why is this only a worry in China? America is experiencing a huge birth rate decline as well.
Jesus fucking Christ.
The AP got their numbers from the UN. I'll take an Al Jazeera article, an Indian news article, literally anything orher than western media. Just to see that it's not a fed headline by western governments.
Heres the US birth rates
From 16.70 in 1990 to 11.00 in 2020 in the US. But cute attempt at misrepresentation with the graph.
Please show me a better and more accurate graph than the one i provided, or is the one i provided valid and accurate?
All i presented it as was a graph of the US birth rate. Where is my misrepresentation? I said "here is a graph". I would love to see your grapgh of the US birthrate that you believe is a better representation.
My entire point is that a lot of places in this world right now is facing massive reductions in birth rates. This feels cherry picked to keep eyes away from western states' same exact problems. Maybe capitalism is causing it? But the capitalist states cant have that kind of reflection. No, its the ~~barbarians~~ Chinese! Which is why I asked for a non-western source. Show me a source from a latin american or south american organization. An asian one. Literally anything non western please.
Buddy all graphs without y labelling is useless.

You could have looked this up yourself, now you look dumb and lazy and any point you were trying to make looks the same.
Fuck off, fascist.
Right? What a stupid dumbo, graphs and sources are a clear sign of fascism. Watch out Excel users, we are coming for you next! The only bars you’ll see will be those in a cell.
Using a graph to imply a drop by 80% when the drop is less than 35% is immensely misleading. Sorry that you see a graph and immediately assume whatever is implied is correct.
"Show me your sources"
"~~I don't have any~~ Fuck off fascist."
Wonderful. Centrists are the most annoying kind of human on this planet.
Already provided sources, fascist.
