EU condemns China for human rights violations against Uyghurs
Resolution arouses widespread concern from international community, highlights international community's continued concern about human rights situation in Xinjiang
The European Parliament overwhelmingly passed an emergency resolution Thursday condemning the Chinese government's persecution of Uyghurs and urging China to immediately and unconditionally release detainees, including Uyghur economist Ilham Tohti and Gulshan Abbas.
The resolution is fueled by widespread concern from the international community and highlights its continued concern about the human rights situation in Xinjiang.
Don’t let Lemmygrad see this article. They’ll ban the European Parliament.
48They’ll just change the topic and drown you in whataboutisms, logical fallacies, and availability heuristics.
29I mentioned it around them once, responses claimed it either never happened it happened but briefly and was ended.
15There was no genocide.
There were mass detentions where people would be picked up for minor crimes and sent for job training, according to Wapo, at least some of them were closed/repurposed before 2022, presumably in 2020.
There is plenty of room to criticize sending someone for 6+ months of trade school because they didn't have a job and got caught doing some incredibly minor crime and analyze what China has done in the past and why they did this, but libs can't have that conversation when they're invested in a crazy conspiracy theory.

emergency resolution
The article references 2017 and 2018. Did something happen recently?
25Nope. Nothing at all happening lately, that's why Gedaliyah, son of Akiham, son of Shaphan, is posting 7 year old news about a great power accused of genocide against its Muslim population.

Support.
But isn't there a better source for this than VOA? I don't trust VOA for news about China like I don't trust RT for news about USA. Etc. It's strange how many people post state propaganda as if it's honest news.

7Happy that they are doing at least something; sad as i know that they don't really care about the Uyghurs but just about the f*ing tarrif war.
4Some of the most Islamophobic countries in the world are condemning China's treatment of Muslims? I wonder how Islamic countries feel about it.
-23Wow an ML accepting china’s treatment of Muslims? You must be new… you’re not allowed to do that.
13I am not accepting China's claims, I am accepting predominantly Muslim country's judgements on how Muslims are being treated in China over the countries that are either currently imperializing Islamic countries or are just incredibly islamophobic for no reason, like Poland.
Here's a map from Nov of 2019. A similar UN resolution passed about a month ago with similar support.

I'm guessing they feel like it's about time those countries were on their side for a change.
Of course, some of them are fine with it.
