Nowhere did I say every Uyghur is a terrorist but thankfully chinas extensive surveillance apparatus finds the ones susceptible to radicalization. Your entire view on this subject is quite frankly driven by propaganda and is fundamentally at odds with what even the State Department says. To the point where even Wikipedia had to remove the “genocide” out of the corresponding article’s name. If china wanted to wipe out an entire ethnic group of 10 million why do they give them an exemption from the one Child policy? Why do Uyghurs get preferential scoring for national exams?

you literally said it two comment before this:

Wow deradicalization of potential terrorists and teaching them skills to integrate into the economy to do something with their lives instead of bombing them into the Stone Age like American allies do? Sounds good to me.

If I were you I would delete your comments here. Your denial of the camps and then immediate justification of them on the basis of this ethnic group being "potential terrorists" is ignorant, hateful, and embarrassing.

Nah if I were you I’d get better reading comprehension and delete your comment cause I’ve already gone back and forth with another destiny fan over this in the same comment chain.

You implied it by using it as justification for putting MILLIONS of people through re-education camps that then got turned into "prisons" when the world started paying attention to what was happening.

Turn your logic around and apply it to Palestine and ask yourself how it feels to be a hypocrite.

Nah not my fault for your lack of reading comprehension. Comparing it to Gaza also tells me how woefully stupid you kind of people are. The Chinese re-educate Uyghurs susceptible to radicalization in attempt to integrate them while Israel sees Muslims as lesser beings and just bomb all of them. Clearly this is out of your league of discussion.

Maybe Israel should do the same thing to Palestinians that the CCP is doing to Uyghurs. After all, Palestinians are known for being susceptible to radicalization, which apparently is all that's needed to imprison millions of them.

Notice how you are justifying punishing people for having POTENTIAL to commit a crime. Pretty fucked up.

Israel uses its surveillance apparatus to predict when attacks happen yes. Their end game is completely wiping them out though. You and I both know China also has an extensive and quite invasive surveillance apparatus (which I’ve stated in my other comment but you’re not here to be honest lmao) that can definitely find out which Uyghur is getting radical information and preemptively put an end to it by detaining them. Their end game though is integration unlike Israel. You’re going to tell me that’s the same lol?

You’re talking about people consuming western propaganda and you’re out here saying Chinas surveillance system is so good that everyone the government thinks is a terrorist must be a terrorist.

Listen to yourself dude. I hope you are getting paid by the Chinese government. I genuinely hope you are not this gullible.

And you made fun of my reading comprehension lol

u/medalboy123 Jan 19 '25

What you want me to take your funny fallacious argument seriously? It’s built on the falsehood that millions of Uyghurs are detained (which is logistically impossible) and you trying to get me to go with the whole “every Muslim is a terrorist” thing that you clearly think and are projecting on me.

Sorry, they're "potential terrorists" and not all terrorists. By your own words.

https://uhrp.org/news/uyghurs-in-china-the-most-heavily-jailed-group-in-the-world/

The UHRP probe into prison numbers in China has shown that despite Uyghurs being only one percent of the total population of the superpower, one third of its total prison population is made up of Turkic peoples scattered throughout the province on its far northwestern flank, roughly four times the size of France.

...

“Even if our estimates are wildly over-stated; even three times the true imprisonment figures, they would still show that the Uyghur Region has the world’s highest rate of imprisonment,” he said.

Just the most imprisoned population in the world. I'm sure nothing fishy is going on there. Why even spend your time defending this?
