If you look into it, most of the indpendent experts are one right wing crank, Adrian Zenz, who is 100% funded by the UK State-Owned BBC and an American intelligence cutout organization called the NED. He's a far-right Christian Zionist who doesn't speak a word of Mandarin. You should be happy that there's no genocide in Xinjiang (even Zenz has never claimed this), mad that your tax dollars likely went to fund his bogus cause, and furious that those same tax dollars are also being used to conduct a real genocide in Gaza.

If Gaza hasn't shown you that Uyghur Genocide was a crackpot evangelical conspiracy theory cooked up in a Langley basement then nothing will

China is a force for good and Russia is the harm reduction candidate vs the US.

I believe that democrats should at the very least oppose genocide (rather than encourage it) if they want to be considered different from the republicans.

All settlers are hostile enemy combatants. If a settler brings his child to a stolen home he is using that child as a human shield.

The NED is directly and openly an arm of the CIA, an organization which has contributed to and participated in the politically driven murders of human being numbering in 7 digits.

If you can't find a source that doesn't link back to them, the story is bullshit and you're falling for American state-sponsored disinfo.

Can you name a single instance of political confluence between tankies and fascists? Communists were the first targets of the nazis, the axis powers formally called themselves the "Anti-COMINTERN Pact".

I could rattle off countless instances of liberals praising, enabling, funding, arming, and befriending fascists, but we'd be here all day.

The Finnish state that fought the Soviet Union, the one which was allied with Nazi Germany, was only established after the wholesale massacre of communists and workers. Anticommunism is the modus operandi of fascism in all its forms. The axis powers in WWII were formalized in the "Anti-Comintern Pact" to which Finland was a signatory.

What does it mean to "break" a people?

The Chinese people were certainly already "broken" in 1949. They had undergone a century of collapse, most were illiterate, women were essentially chattel, and every single grain of wheat or rice more than what was required to keep them alive was stolen by unelected landlords.

The communists took power and every single one of them was taught to read, women were enfranchised, no-fault divorce and abortion were legalized, political rights were expanded, opium and gangs were chased out of the mainland and the feudal lords were held to account.

30 years after the revolution they had turned a society of feudal peasants into a nuclear power, 30 years after that and it's the world's largest economy by PPP.

The same things can be said about the Bolsheviks, who defeated a nazi army which sought to annihilate them.

Xi's presidency paired with the clear terminal decline state of Western countries have made liberalism in China a marginal position.

Chinese foreign policy has rarely deviated from moderate, trade-oriented and relatively apolitical over the past few decades. I think the massive allocation of US taxpayer funds toward negative coverage of China has swayed your opinion to the most hawkish extreme. None of these accusations really exist outside of the anglosphere and HK/Taiwan based Sinophone disinfo networks, however most of them are widely acknowledged as crimes that the US has committed in the very recent past in some capacity.

Important to understand that every instance of mugging, shoplifting etc combined is less than half of what's stolen by employers via wage theft. In addition, wage theft is virtually never punished with prison time, unlike shoplifting or larceny.

Shirts are not people, not animals, not priceless relics, just commodities. Direct your 'horror' at an actual evil that affects your fellow humans rather than a minor loss of revenue from stolen property.
