Uyghurs in China
Because there are. It’s not an opinion, it’s not debatable, and the sheer amount of evidence is so staggering that one must either be blind or brainwashed to ignore all of it.

As many wumaos proudly claim not to trust any western newspapers, I have refrained from citing from news sources. Even so, the evidence is staggering.
There are 2 possibilities here:
- That an authoritarian regime with a history of suppressing free speech and religion, as well as erasing culture and language in peripheral regions, is now doing the same in yet another troubled region; that there is, at the very least, cultural genocide, crimes against humanity, mass detention, surveillance and repression of Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities in Xinjiang.
- Or — that there is a worldwide conspiracy that has been happening for the past 10–20 years, involving virtually every single Western government, reputable news organisation, human rights groups, research journals, think tanks, as well as hundreds of academics from dozens of countries, all of whom plotted to overthrow China by bribing hundreds of witnesses and propping up thousands of websites.
