My question aims to know what kind of procedures did the Chinese government (allegedly) take since 2014 in Xinjiang, and why to begin with. And what can we know about the region in the current time, like can a random tourist go and see with their own eyes the truth, and maybe film it ?

There are Youtube videos and a Wikipedia page "documenting" human rights infringements, while China and the Marxist forums deny anything harmful. Now that almost nobody is bringing it up, I want to know what was legitimately documented. Investigating the origins and later developments of the case on my own would be so hard.

    If cowering in fear were a comment.

    I don’t understand, what am I supposed to be afraid of?

    Being direct and honest with your actual opinions, of course. Issuing vague warnings rather than actually engaging. These are cowardly behaviors.

    I don’t really have any strong opinions on this topic, that’s why I was here to read and learn about it. I was just pointing out that certain people were more heavily represented in this discussion than it initially appears. It’s quite odd, I don’t understand what emotions you are trying to project onto me. I haven’t been a hostile jerk, so why are you?

    Saying "certain people" is a good example of the passive aggression I'm noting.

    Just share your actual opinion or acknowledge that you're afraid to do so.

    By certain people I mean the ones who are participating heavily in this thread. Are you confusing that with the phrase “certain kinds of people”? I don’t understand why you’re picking a one-sides fight.

    You are trying to now tell me that your warning is to be wary because people who are particilating in this thread are... participating in this thread?

    You say you are confused but I have already explained. Feel free to directly respond to what I said if you don't understand my point.

    I'm aware that mostly I'll be receiving pro PRC narrative here, but I'm okay with it, atleast half of the mission is complete. I'd like to see answers from liberals or anarchists or pro Türkiye if possible too. This is the largest Q&A forum on Lemmy.
    I might try later to post to the asklemmy of lemmyworld or to Reddit for more diversity.

    Generally speaking people on a forum can only give you breadcrumbs. Rather than spend time polling libs that know nothing but propaganda and memes, it would be a better use of time for you to personally critically research the claims made, those who made them, and exercise media criticism in doing so. Check sourcing, funding, affiliations, and loaded language and content.

    I mean, you certainly can poll the libs, but you will just hear things that you will need to later unlearn, and it is easier to build understanding by doing things in the opposite order: learn the material and then hear (and spot) the BS.
