In Xinjiang I believe they're enjoying a pretty fantastic rate of development and industrialization.

Weird way to write "being repressed, being subject to forced labour, ideological and political "reeducation", being restricted in exercising their religious beliefs to the point of muslim names being prohibited, being subject to abuse and internment, etc. pp, all that to degrees where several experts classify CCPs course against Uighurs in Xinjiang as a genocide."

Fuck off, tankie.

Are you forgetting what you write yourself? Yo, let a doctor check that out.

[-] FunkyStuff@lemmy.ml -1 points 5 hours ago

No, I meant the quote in the body of your comment. The one that ends in the claim that the course of the CPC against Uighurs in Xinjiang is a genocide.

That's not a quote. Why do you think that's a quote?

This is how a quote would look like.

Also, there is no claim of genocide. There is a claim that several experts say it's a genocide.

This string exists in your comment:

The 19th character of that string is ". The last character is also a ". Where I come from we call that a quote.

Call it what you want and ignore that quotation marks are more versatile in use than just mar the beginning and end of a quote.

Okay, so it's not a quote? It's just information from your mind? Can you tell me what the source of the information was?

Okay, so it's not a quote?

That's what I said, yes.

Can you tell me what the source of the information was?

It's not just one single source. It's a number of media articles. And luckily, there is a list of sources with a summary of those sources' content. Though I kinda doubt you'll accept those sources' validity and believe you'll find some weird, generalizing excuse to dismiss the list in total.

Okay, thank you, I don't know why it was necessary to drag the thread out for so many comments to get a source out of you when I was upfront with the sources I used to justify my original claims.

I'll have to peruse through the sources cited there tomorrow, sadly I'm a little busy right now.

The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence

A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.

Here we toast:
🇪🇺 The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
🧀 The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
🏳️‍🌈 The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins 💶 And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.

Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream “only in YUROP.”

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.
