Where did I defend the CCP or communism?

(I do fully support communism and have critical support for China, but that's not the question here)

What evidence would change your mind about [...]

Show me evidence that the Uyghur are being persecuted

You're a Lemmygrad user, they're going to assume that's your intent by default

The communism preference, yes. As for the CCP: They literally denied Uyghur persecution. Not even genocide, which is a claim that, due to its severity, is always going to be hard to prove, and thus debatable, I get that.

But even just the fact that the ethnic-religious group of Uyghurs are being persecuted on a large scale, had to be denied. That's pretty extreme.

Thank you for answering.

I am not sure where to start, but let's take the easy way: At the moment of writing, the wikipedia page "Persecution of Uyghurs in China" has 585 references.

They're probably all written by seemingly independent institutions, journalists and scientists who somehow have a McCarthyist-like fear of communism that they'd risk their credibility just to add a bit of damage to communist China's moral standing?

Or are they all factually incorrect through some other mechanism?
