One of these countries isn't arresting indigenous people for the crime of being insufficiently white.

    Persecution of Uyghurs in China

    Both countries can be bad at the same time.

    I literally just came from Xinjiang. Yeah no I'll trust my own eyes and the Uhigurs I'm still in contact with over some article sourcing people who literally have never been there.

    This is some "Portland is a warzone"-level shit.

    Yeah no I'll trust some rando on social media over actually seeing multiple news threads from several trusted sources and has been widely known globally for the last few decades.

    Trusted sources that promoted the same lies that got us into Iraq and Afghanistan.

    As far as known globally, you mean known to America and its vassals. Muslim countries have sent delegations to investigate Xinjiang.

    But I'm sure the guys who've been bombing muslim countries for 50+ years should be trusted to give a shit about the human rights of Muslims.

    No, they arrest or kill millions of them for being insufficiently Chinese, or millions more for being insufficiently Communist

    Regarding your first link, lmao.

    I am in China right now, I spent a couple months in Xinjiang and left earlier this week

    Literally anyone can go there, there's no travel restrictions. Theres also a significant Uhigur population in Kazakhstan, whom anybody can talk to.

    Yeah, go ahead and do a Google search of Canada's treatment of indigenous people. I'll wait.

    I like how everyone in this thread is pretending that there are good guys somewhere when in the entire history of humanity there have never been good guys.

    Did you mean to respond to someone else? I'm vaguely aware of the schools, starlight tours, and Trudou letting oil companies poison first nations water supplies, but I don't see where Canada comes into opposing support for America.
