Well yes, but also a colleague of mine is from there. He had to fight tooth and nail to get his family out and he told be often of the horrors faced by his people.
I also dated a Beijing girl for a year and she was very much of the opinion that nothing was wrong, but she was incredibly dense about a lot of things to the point that I no lover trusted her opinion.
If there’s a genocide going on you can actually provide numbers like population loss and displacement. It would be EXTREMELY HARD to cover all of this up. Look at Israel, where an actual genocide is taking place. You’re telling me that China is doing the same thing and not only does no one know about it but Muslim leaders that actually visited Xinjiang approved of China’s actions, all of those people are wrong? Sounds like your “colleague” is a liar.

That’s cause nothing was wrong, and you’re a chauvinist. Why is her opinion any less valuable than your colleague’s? She fucking lives there dude
Dense. She treated people she barely knew like dirt, the entire time I holidayed with her in China she would look down on the culture of the different towns as if Beijing was the holy grail, and she would constantly competitively insert herself into someone else’s conversation. I loved her, because she could be incredibly sweet, but she was also capable of being incredibly mean. But fine, that makes me a chauvanist.
Nah that doesn’t make you a chauvinist but it does mean you’re using the word dense wrong especially if the above behaviors are your examples for it. Anyway, ignore my low effort cheap shot. It’s not really worth responding to other people will actually engage with you on the subject.

“I dated a girl from China who I don’t respect so the opposite of what she says must be true” is not the slam dunk argument you seem to think it is.
Obviously not, but her opinion on all topics parroted the party line so often, so patriotically, that I assume that anyone who repeats the state media in any country is likely being fed lies.
