    That’s because OP wasn’t talking about general “crimes against humanity”. They’re making the specific, and significantly stronger claim, of “genocide”.

      Before going any further, can we at least agree that the treatment of Uyghurs by the government of China rises to the level of crimes against humanity?

        So you’re saying that instead of addressing the issue at hand you want to start with a premise of “China bad.” and just go from there. Great.

          That’s not even remotely what I said, implied, or believe. Would you like to respond to what I did say, or put words in my mouth?

            It wasn’t the topic of the thread and it’s not germane to the question of evidence.

            It is, at best, a distraction.

              No, it’s not.

              My points were twofold. First, to find out if we could find some common ground. Second, to find out if you actually care about sources and evidence, or judge them retroactively based on whether or not you like the conclusions.

              The latter makes the conversation a non-starter, because even within a single report, you’ll interpret it in different ways. Within the very constrained lens of not containing the word genocide, to you, it ought to be sufficient. When it comes to crimes against humanity, you don’t want to talk about it, start attacking, and dismiss it as “a distraction.” On the prior point, I hope that your frustration comes from some doubt within you, causing you discomfort. Keep pulling on that thread.

              Good luck with everything. I hope things get better going forward.
