I’ve seen all of these sources a million times. They all, without fail, link directly or indirectly back to Adrian Zenz, ASPI, or some other Washington D.C based think tank or “NGO” like NED. They’ll also throw in the occasional victim testimony from the same handful of Uyghur “survivors” whose stories change every other time they tell it.

Just one example. Here [1], an Uyghur survivor said she “did not personally see violence” yet in her book [2], she suddenly describes witnessing everything from gang rapes to organ harvesting to torture. There are countless other examples of inconsistencies like this.

My final word on this is that if there is indeed a genocide going on, it must be the only genocide in history where the allegedly genocided population has actually gone up [3].

Anyways, believe what you will. I wrote this response mainly for the benefit of people who still remember the lies that led up to the invasion of Iraq, not for people like you whose minds are already set.
