I haven’t read a lot of these sources myself yet, but the first one at least by the Communist Party of India is worth a read.
Here are some interesting facts related to this topic:
- These claims are promoted mainly by the US government and US media
- The USA has invaded many Muslim countries over the last decades, killing millions of innocent civilians
- Most Muslim countries support China’s Uighur policies, western nations oppose them
- According to Biden, USA is in “extreme competition” with China
- Xinjiang is a vital part of China’s “Belt and Road” infrastructure project, because it provides the shortest path to Europe
Edit: One more thing, here is a list of terrorist attacks in Xinjiang. Note how there were no more major attacks after the vocational training program was established.
Faceless anarcho-communist twitter account is in perfect harmony with CIA but let’s not talk about that and try to be neutral here. /s
Don’t know why western people are obsessed with concern trolling for human rights across the globe when the biggest anti-worker, genocidal, racist nation state projects are right at their doorsteps. Instead of cleaning the mess at their home you get anarchist minded people being regime change dupes on the internet.
I don’t even know what to believe with this shit and I’m not an anarchist but this is the most ridiculous objection I’ve seen. “WHAT ABOUT [worse thing that anarchists also oppose]” is fucking meaningless and leaves you looking less like a good Marxist and more like you’re just looking for any reason to dunk on nerds on the internet.
Whataboutism claims are a good sign of pseudo intellectuals dog whistling to attract mob attention, usually a last resort card played by people when they never have good discussion or argument skills.
“Whataboutism” as a claim can be abused a lot to avoid criticism of the other evil that is being referenced, but there is no reason to believe that’s the case on an anarchist forum where you would be very hard pressed to find anyone who isn’t also extremely opposed to the US and other western empires. Given the demographics of a site like this, it’s also likely that most of their activism is targeted toward them as well. There is no reason that criticism of a potential evil has to wait for a larger evil to be toppled.
You’re not actually making a point here, just hurling insults.
More like I explained how concern trolling is done, by using whataboutism claims. If you want such academic discussions, first consider that you need a utopian world to do so, not the kind of world that exists today.
The current world has a lot of bias and brainwashed masses, the bias being in favour of the Western neoliberal warmongering hegemony.
You forgot to cite the most important reason, being that southern Xinjiang area Tarim Basin has as much oil as whole of Saudi Arabia and supplies 30% of China’s oil needs. Destabilising and separating Xinjiang from China will result in an inevitable collapse of the country’s economy. China is on its way to overtake USA as world leader.
USA already has hold of Saudi Arabia and sanctions and forcibly controls Iran. By taking control of Tarim Basin, USA will dictate matters over most of the world’s oil.
If they had to care about Muslims, they would not genocide millions of them in Gitmo or Middle East or South East Asia over the past half century.
Good video debunking most of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yURIS7S9zg
Came to share this. Bayarea and Daniel Dumbrill do a fantastic job.
