And yet, the arguments against the narrative of Uighur genocide seem to exclusively be childish insults. Seriously, I see comments just like this all the time when someone mentions Uighur genocide, of which there is some evidence, and never an actual refutation. Are simpletons those who believe evidence might indicate truth, or those who let themselves be browbeaten by tribalism into believing otherwise? I wouldn't even ask if I thought you were just a CCP bot but your post history suggests you're not.


No, the burden of proof is on the proponents of this.


That's a lazy and irrelevant response because, as I actually said, evidence has been provided. If it's bad evidence, say that, instead of making a new claim that someone else is an idiot, for which the burden of proof is on you.

Further, these comments tend to come with the claim that the whole thing is a CIA/FBI hoax. Guess who bears the burden of proof for that? (Don't bother guessing. It's the person making the claim.)


same thing for a "genocide" in Palestine


Good thing we have plenty


If the Chinese are committing genocide against the Uighurs, the US is also committing genocide against its black population, which it imprisons and kills at much higher rates. I'm willing to accept that both are committing active genocide but few China-haters seem to be.


Yes, it is.
