I tried to un-paywall the article you linked, and it brought up the UN report. It's possible it was the wrong article.

Do you have an un-paywalled link? Or do I just trust it without reading it?

Why should you trust Chinese sources to tell you about a genocide in China? That'd be like trusting CNN to tell you billionaires are evil.

    It’s not paywalled for me, but a lot of it is just repeating grayzone reporting.

    I’m not saying to trust China. I’m saying to trust the trusted third parties who have investigated it. Really were so far past the hoax at this point, you can even trust the state propagandists who’ve already admitted they didn’t have the evidence they claimed.

    Right now, you’re trusting decade old claims from intelligence agencies, who aren’t even still pushing those narratives you’re clinging to, and who were exposed as radicalizing the Uyghurs to destabilize the region (as they’ve done countless other times this past century).
