Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Here's the Amnesty International report if you want to give it a bit more scrutiny. I think it's China's attempts to discredit it that don't hold up to scrutiny:
www.amnesty.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Amnesty-International_China-Report_FINAL.pdf
Here's another thing I noticed. A little farther down, it mentions they interviewed "dozens" of people, and that this represents a significant portion of all available testimonial evidence. Of course they attribute this to the Chinese government trying to keep information from getting out.
Here's the thing: there's absolutely no way they could be that successful in keeping this hidden. Just look at Gaza. It's tiny, literally walled in, and israel all the best tech for oppression and surveillance (it's like their whole thing) plus the infinite money glitch via the USA. And still, we have countless videos of the horrors perpetrated against Palestinians. Xinjiang is HUGE, and there are something like 10 million Uyghurs. Stuff would absolutely get out.
So right off the bat, the executive summary goes
So this "terrorism" did actually happen, I'm not sure why it's in quotes, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_2014_%C3%9Cr%C3%BCmqi_attack
Note the reference at the top to another incident only one month earlier. Unfortunately there were several more.
This tone certainly suggests a foregone conclusion, but anyway. It goes on to describe various abuses, do they amount to genocide? They sure wouldn't if israel was the perpetrator, but I guess when it's China we can throw around the G word no problem. Perhaps I can give it more scrutiny later, gotta work now.
