Honestly I am very impressed by the thoroughness of the post too.

Tbh, there are a few Western talking points used against China, USSR (still), etc., and while I think it rare, anyone on the left (socialist, communist, anti-imperialist for sure) who is dedicated to fighting these points (which yogthos clearly is) likely has a list of references squirreled away somewhere to use. Maybe a research paper, blog post, or video essay was published by yogthos, at which point they would definitely have these ready.

Back to the "genocide", its also suspicious that the focus of state/corporate media in the west would be so focused on this "one" in particular, while ignoring all of the ongoing atrocities in and by western states. To me, it is far more likely that trying to pin a genocide on China (the empires new enemy I guess) is just a way to manufacture consent for tariffs, trade wars, real war. It is the American Way™ after all.
