They'll call out China for arbitrary detentions, but still nothing about travel to the US?
Nope. Still fucking green.

It's green for strictly economic reasons. It should be yellow.
Exactly. They care more about the economy than about the people.
Wait did they mix up China and the US? Those are the things you have in the US right now.
Canada is cherry-picking if the weird old USA isn't on that warning list.
You can look it up and check. I could too. I just don't want to.
I am in Xinjiang right now lmao. Do yall also think Portland is a warzone?
Downvoters, do you think China is hiding the genocide just out of view? That they just let anybody come here and hang out with the very people they're genociding?
How are you posting to Lemmy?
The only instances that are blocked are hexbear and .ml.
But also I am using a HK based esim rn so it goes around anyway. I've been meaning to get a proper VPN like proton for when I'm on wifi, but haven't.
That's right, can't have people actually travel to Xinjiang and see it for themselves. Makes it really hard to push racist propaganda against China. 🤡
Scotty has a posse. It’s been going on for over three years.

why am I not surprised
The funny thing is, they never seem to deny being a sock puppet when called out on it. I suppose because they don't want an actual discussion where more people actually go look and see what's obvious once you check.
Which leaves one wondering why this dozen or so communities tolerate them.
Add this one to the list - tardigrade@scribe.disroot.org. Seems to be recent and active.
Thanks! Looks like they recycled their OG name last month.
International Hotel Giants Are Profiting Despite Genocide in Xinjiang - (June 2025) ----[Archived link]
In addition to the 115 hotels that are currently operational in Xinjiang, we identified another 74 in various stages of planning and construction from international hotel giants—Accor, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Marriott, Minor Hotels, and Wyndham. Marriott will open at least 13 hotels located in Xinjiang in 2026, including a Ritz-Carlton in Urumqi. IHG will open nine hotels in the region in 2025 and another seven in 2026, including InterContinentals in Urumqi, Kashgar, and Ghulja. (InterContinental is IHG’s flagship luxury brand.)
Moreover, we documented a long list of rights abuses connected to hotels in Xinjiang, including forced labor, presence on territories controlled by an entity under targeted human rights sanctions, financial and management links to Chinese state-owned enterprises, and hotels hosting Chinese state propaganda events. Hilton even opened a hotel on the site of the Duling Mosque in central Khotan, which local authorities demolished in 2018. None of the seven hotel chains responded to our repeated requests for comment.
Another report reads:
State-backed tourism booms in China's troubled Xinjiang - (2023)
... off the main tourist trail, in the mostly Uyghur town of Yengisar, AFP reporters saw a sign in a cemetery prohibiting Islamic "religious activities" such as kneeling, prostrating, praying with palms facing upwards and reciting scripture. The same sign permitted certain offerings for the Qingming Festival, typically observed by Han but not Uyghurs.
Around a dozen mosques in other towns and villages around Kashgar were found locked and rundown.
Some appeared to have had minarets and other Islamic markings removed, and many bore the same government slogan: "Love the country, love the party". ... Three other community mosques within a few hundred metres were shuttered when AFP visited, with a store advertising adult products operating a stone's throw from one of them.
... "The destruction of religious sites... is part of a larger set of policies that are transforming the landscape and disconnecting Uyghur culture from the geography" of Xinjiang, Thum [said]. The sharpest reminders of Beijing's policies still lurk on Kashgar's periphery, which houses many of the alleged internment camps.
While some appear to have been converted or abandoned, others look to still be operating -- and provoke official unease when exposed.
Imagine being so gullible to genuinely believe that a country would have booming tourist in a region they're conducting a genocide. Looking through your comment history it's pretty clear what sort of a racist troll you are. Bye.
