You can search Youtube and see youtubers' visiting to Xinjiang, and even the sites of the so-called genocide events. Draw your own conclusion. I haven't been in Xinjiang in my lifetime, I have no idea what really happened. I watched CNN, ABC, and many western news reports, and CGTN's reports, and a lot of Youtuber, like and dislike China all alike. I had my own opinions. But I see no reason to present them without myself setting foot on the region.


Yes, of course. No sense in presenting opinions without setting foot in Xinjiang with the blessings of a carefully monitoring government. Sure many celebrities and professors have disappeared for the last 2-3 years and China is trying to compel expat Uighurs to return to China. But I don't want to present opinions without setting foot in china. There are too many reports of Chinese soldiers entering homes whisking husbands away into educational camps and sleeping with the wives.

But irrespective of all these stories, I am firmly in your camp about my opinion. I see no reason to present my opinion without myself setting foot on the region.


Well, let's not be cynical.

Speaking truly and frankly. You are expressing a lot of opinions.

I indeed reserve my judgement on CCP, as I know that I know very little about the entity.

You may or may not interpret that as complicit to them, or whatever. But please do calm your mind, and see into the facts, and the reasoning behind the emotions.

I am not asking anyone to be correct. I am asking rationale.


Please don't mistake my words for opinions. I am not posting any opinions, just like you.
