Literally no source outlet, western or otherwise, has made accusations of killings in Xinjiang. You can't just make up allegations whole cloth and then ask people to provide reliable sources to debunk them.

They offered to provide sources.

You can't be bothered to read the thread you're commenting on?

They offered to provide a breakdown of the situation in Xinjiang, and I accepted and also politely asked if they could also provide some sources along with it, so I wouldn't just have to rely on "trust me, bro". They were, of course, free to decline, but they were nice enough to provide some

And it was still wildly out of line for you to expect them to. You wouldn't have had to 'rely' on anything; You Were the One Making the Assertion
