I've really grown to dislike the "people who presumably consider themselves ethical defending a regime that represses free speech and expression, brutally crushes dissenters, disappears ethical doctors, is led by a 'president for life' dictator, and has literally hauled off 1M muslims to internment campus where their organs are being harvested and their culture is being erased, thing".

Wikipedia references estimates of 1.5 million & 1-3 million. [0]

"Uighurs are allegedly pressured to renounce their culture" [1] More references is the Wikipedia article as well.

"China forcefully harvests organs from detainees" [2] Same article discusses the 1.5 million figure.

All of these are from basic Google searches. The information is out there if you look.

Where the 1 million number came from:

https://www.chinafile.com/reporting-opinion/features/where-d...

https://www.nchrd.org/2018/08/china-massive-numbers-of-uyghu...

Note the sources: Radio Free Asia (CIA propaganda group), Adrian Zenz (religious nutjob), etc.

Note the method: Estimates by satellite imagery and interviewing a handful of residents.

All of these reports that are used as evidence of cultural genocide are hearsay. Uyghurs are taught to renounce extremist beliefs not their culture as a whole.

Here is the actual report from the 'tribunal':

Note that their 'direct evidence' are also just hearsay. I see no concrete proof of organ harvesting from Uyghurs. Maybe you can find it.

I don't believe everything I see on the first page of Google, and you shouldn't either.

You have been given the citations you asked for, but now you want something specific but you haven’t said what.

What are your criteria for something you wouldn’t just dismiss?

>You have been given the citations you asked for

I disagree. I see a lot of speculation not actual proof.

>you want something specific but you haven’t said what. What are your criteria for something you wouldn’t just dismiss?

How about proof to back up these claims? It's amazing how some people can be so invested in a story that they'll throw basic logical reasoning out the window.
