Can't rebut my response so you resort to this?
It's pretty typical. Usually when people start losing the argument, they start posting non-sequiturs.
That or completely leaving the discussion like this fella - https://forums.anandtech.com/thread...ology-did-leak-covid-19.2594180/post-40635910

what's the matter, can't handle a world renowned meme?

here is an example of Human Rights Watch condemning USA. Show me a Chinese News Media condemning the CCP.

I can't. Now refute my other points.
I even numbered them for you.

1. Where do you get your information about China from?
I'm going to assume from US media, unless you've lived in China, or are fluent in Chinese.
2. Have US media and politicians intentionally lied before?
3. Does the US have a record of interfering in other countries, lead coups and color revolutions around the globe?
4. Does the US have a vested interest in demonizing other nations such as Russia and China?
(hint: they do -
)
5. Have you ever been presented the other side of the story, or do you only consume (and blindly believe) US based media?

Again, if you cannot point to a Chinese media outlet condemning the Chinese government, how can you depend on their reporting? Show me an article of Chinese news outlet criticising the CCP. I can sort of make out simplified Chinese.


Are you saying Putin didn't poison people in UK with Novichuk?

Western nations don’t have perfectly clean hands so therefore the PRC should be trusted to report on itself?

Get lost with this moral relativism. I only wish the west did more to destabilise horrible regimes.

Well the west is batting 0 on making a place better through intervention. Granted most of the intervention is about their selfish intersts.

I don't care about chinese govt or their media. the first video I showed, which you incorrectly claimed is chinese media is not even chinese media.

I take issue with US sourced media, whose stories are often full of holes, but because of US dominance of the airwaves, and english being the de facto lingua franca of the world, it is to believed without question.
the old saying of repeating a lie enough times and people will begin to believe is true, and they know it.

this lie of uighur genocide, no one has shown definitive proof of genocide.
no one has shown any dead bodies. well, of course the response is going to be that the chinese govt is not transparent and is hiding the corpses.
then show us the mass exodus of uighurs from china, as typically seen in past genocides such as jews and rwanadans.

and the original source is not xinhua. they used the reporter's video in their youtube channel. it's like a retweet.
god..... is this the level of intelligence i'm dealing with?

.


Yeap, that is the level of intelligence you are displaying. Like Xinhua will ever show anything other than pro CCP stuff.


What's next? Are you going to sing praises of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics?

ok, I agree that they won't show negative china content, so what? why does that even matter?
it's the content that you should be focused on.
it was an interview that was not taken out of context, and the words were not twisted in any way. the guy was clearly using his circular logic of "well, we get our sources from the media."

too bad you're actually worried about being tossed in prison and/or executed (also you're family) because of what you might say or type.

the rest of us aren't.

care to address that?

Sorry, I don't feel the need to go round and round with a genocide apologist. The "one single proof" argument is old when you'll just dismiss any evidence as inadequate. And it's almost like you've never heard of cultural genocide. iTs NoT gEnOcIdE iF tHeY dOnT kIlL eVeRyOnE.

So defeating nazi Germany was a zero? Intervening in the balkans was a zero? Keeping Russia starved for cash so they can't rearm effectively? Sure, a lot of interventions have been failures but some have been positive. UN peace keeping is an intervention and again while it has a mixed record, some has been good.

what grayzone? I would classify them as an anti-neocolonialism site, or anti-MSM, pro-USA propaganda site.

regardless, you haven't addressed any of my questions. most are yes/no questions, not even short answers.

4. Does the US have a vested interest in demonizing other nations such as Russia and China?
5. where is the mass flight from china from xinjiang due to this genocide?
6. why does the US not only not condemn Saudi Arabia for their actual genocide of yemeni's, but fund and arm their cause?

ahh, cultural genocide. what does that entail?

eradication of their language? sorry, their script is found all over the region. their language is even on the national currency.
eradication of their religion? there are more mosques in xinjiang alone, than all of the US.

you do know some of the most popular celebrities in china are uighurs, right? right???

I already told you, post up some Chinese links and I'll read them. I am just not very familiar with simplified Chinese. I don't consume US news source that much. But since we are on a US site, chances are most links would be American.
You really think Russia needs other nation to demonize its actions?

There is no freedom of movement within China, where do you suppose the Uyghurs can go?

I don't read chinese or consume chinese media. I read independent media. MSM is straight up US govt propaganda.
you already dismissed the gray zone, so why would you even entertain reading chinese articles?

Why don't you simply answer the questions? they are not very difficult to answer, unless by answering them, you are admitting that there is truth to what I'm saying.
just answer the questions. c'mon boy, do it.

if china is such a threat and a danger to civilians and committing genocide, why would they even allow american athletes to go for the olympic games? why not a complete boycott like in 1980, instead of this diplomatic boycott which is nothing more than political grandstanding?

So you cannot read Chinese, but is convinced they are more truthful than US media :rolleyes:

I don't have illusions about what US, UK, France have done around the globe. But we are talking about China here. Start your own thread on the West if you wish.

Point is Olympics is supposed to be above politics, so a political rebuff shows the politicians do not approve of Chinese actions and at the aame time does not impact the athletes going to compete.
