    What is happening to the Uyghur in China is bad, but it’s so funny that every single article on the topic is either sourced by Adrian Zenz (a Christian fundamentalists nut job) or some organization linked to the National Endowment for Democracy: at minimum a US NGO used for regime change, and possibly just a CIA front with the same purpose.

      I have some second hand anecdotal evidence from someone who used to live in Urumqi and now lives in Canada. She said not being Han Chinese is basically not a good thing to be in China. And having a passport / being a dual citizen is a good thing. She didn’t talk about anything egregious like what some of these articles describe but she did say that when it comes to politics, positions of power and government processes, Han Chinese are always getting preferential treatment.

      that sort of thing and more puts me off believing an all out genocide is happening there.
