Dutch parliament: China's treatment of Uighurs is genocide

I am not so surprised by the reaction of the ruling elite/government...avoiding to make a fuss towards China.

I am more surprised by the reactions I have seen in HN community here in recent times on this issue. They've been ranging from outright defending CCP to defending turning a blind eye because we need iPhones.

As a European, this is signalling me whatever the US was/or projected itself as... is long dead. At least in this generation.

Can you imagine an Apollo Era engineer defending CCP? How about a whole community of them, or most of them?

I understand your view but I don't blame anyone for those reactions. So much double standards on what we condemn and what we don't because of our "interests", and also so much false accusations that lead to heavy consequences that people just don't know what to believe and what not anymore.
