I don’t think it’s true either way, because US intelligence also claimed just the other day that no genocide is occurring in PRC

But again, all of this is assuming that knee-jerk subconscious reactions & bone-deep Sinophobia aren’t the real underpinnings to most of this media barrage in the West
The semantically & factually correct statement would read, “Black America on a normal day faces far worse discrimination & systemic violence than any Uyghur in Xinjiang”
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
I would rather make concise true statements than to clumsily expand & corrupt the commonly accepted meaning of these words and equate the two situations… PRC & USA’s social & economic situations & history are not to be equated
I don’t need to disarm your talking point, I am just pointing out how cynically it’s constructed. If you are at all trying to say that PRC’s development & outreach in Xinjiang is comparable to how police treat Black Americans in the US, then it’s not a true or semantically correct statement
There is no challenge. The truth doesn’t really need our opinions or our imprecise syntactic constructions
