    ? The UN has thoroughly investigated and concluded that the ‘Uyghur genocide’ is a fabrication https://www.ohchr.org/en/documents/country-reports/ohchr-assessment-human-rights-concerns-xinjiang-uyghur-autonomous-region I suggest you read it rather than have it filtered through biased western media orgs, and I trust their investigation a lot more than those from countries like the US that have a vested interest in painting China as negatively as possible

    Even if the propaganda were true it would constitute a crime against humanity not a war crime, unless you consider the ETIM terror campaign a ‘war’

      A fabrication? Did you even read that pdf? I quote:

      Serious human rights violations have been committed in XUAR in the context of the Government’s application of counter-terrorism and counter-“extremism” strategies. The implementation of these strategies, and associated policies in XUAR has led to interlocking patterns of severe and undue restrictions on a wide range of human rights. These patterns of restrictions are characterized by a discriminatory component, as the underlying acts often directly or indirectly affect Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim communities.

              Here you have comment, from this thread, of someone saying there’s basically no problems: https://lemmy.ml/comment/16144139

              Denial of racism and abuse by the Chinese state is rampant here on Lemmy, don’t pretend otherwise.

              Oh and please don’t assume my narrative. I hate the US more.

                You believe that china is engaging in a genocide first hand?(as opposed to simply supplying the perpetrators like the US )

                And still hate the US more?

                Seriously though if you don’t have a inherent bias against China, then why do you think their engaging in a genocide of Uighurs with no evidence?

        It’s true, your screenshot shows no war crimes. You failed at sarcasm.

          I was agreeing with them, I posted the conclusion to show people they’ve not commited war crimes, just “serious human rights violations”. Sorry if my intentions didn’t come through in my comment.

        That has no mention of a war that has China as a belligerent, can you specify which war you think these crimes are occurring as part of? and specify them?

          I’m agreeing with you, the CCP hasn’t commited any war crimes, just “serious human rights violations”

            Ok, but there is a difference between the two, and no one here said China hasn’t committed serious human rights violations, they have and I condemn it like I condemn all serious human right violations including those committed by the US and it’s allies, domestically and in the numerous recent and ongoing invasions, wars and conflicts they’ve started, in addition to their war crimes
