    I read the article and I still can’t tell if we like the guy or not. Wikipedia makes it sound like he’s not pro-CCP.

      Adrian Zenz is not pro-CCP but it seems like wildbus8979 probably is. It is worth pointing out that the Uighur situation is getting much different treatment by the media than genocides by western nations. Not to mention American imperialism etc.

      That’s not really the point though. The point is, CCP censorship and wildbus8979 is at the very least, completely missing that point.

        Ah, I see. I was a bit confused because it seemed like wildbus8979 was simultaneously calling Zenz a bad guy and a pro-Uighur guy, which wouldn’t track coming from an anti-CCP guy.

        That’s because the treatment of Uighurs by the CCP government is in many ways without parallel and thus needs to be treated differently.

        You can not be pro CPP and still question western propaganda, crazy huh? 🤷

        I think the Arab League probably knows better than some fucking fascist and a weird ass cult. But you believe what you want… Not to say that I think things aren’t complex in the region, but I think the west purposefully misrepresents the reality.

        I enjoyed watching Naomi «Sexy Cyborg» Wu’s videos in Xinjiang, her girlfriend is Uighur and they seemed to have no issues walking around.

          Yep, you can be both. I’m both. It’s just that you seem really interested in trying to make people believe there’s nothing going on with the Uighurs in China… No matter how many propaganda videos you post there is much more evidence to the contrary.

          You shouldn’t trust western media fully either but if you’re fully buying that China isn’t doing anything wrong then you’re either very gullible or arguing in bad faith.
