More than one of these people, I have asked: Okay, what sources would you trust? What isn't all just CIA or Western lies?
They really didn't want to answer the question, and reacted to it with quite a bit of hostility (which I think was tactically a good idea, if they're trying to "win" the conversation for the side they've chosen to support, because it doesn't take a genius to see where I'm going with the next steps.)
But sure, I'm the victim of propaganda. If only I knew the truth, I wouldn't be so ignorant.
I get a shit-eating grin across my face every time I see one of these chucklefucks backed into a corner like that. They always either respond with something like “no u”, “fuck you”, or both, and then yeet themselves out of the conversation.
An indication that Taiwan would probably also be put through this sinicisation process Islamic Chinese cultures on the mainland are.
It kinda already was, the KMT dictatorship didn't just practice it on the Austronesian indigenous population, but also on the already existent transplant chinese population that primarily spoke Hokkien dialect.
The Uyghurs are just cuddling in big holes in the ground.
I had someone tell me that the Uyghurs were getting job training in the re-education camps to set them up for good careers and successful integration in Chinese society, and maybe there were some sinister aspects but on the other hand I don't see the US giving job training to people in Guantanamo or anything, so China is way better.
0% exaggerating or mischaracterizing
They are cold, so we're adding some dirt to help warm them up.
The worst part of all of this is they could just admit that they're clinging to Xinjiang for the more defensible natural border and yo Tibet for the water sovereignty, but because practical geopolitical concerns aren't Marxist enough for their liking they have to have some complex moral justification for it all.
