Last night, a Chinese Embassy spokeswoman said: 'We urge the media to abandon ideological bias and Cold-War mentality and view China, the Communist Party of China and China's development in a rational and impartial manner.'

I had to laugh at this part lol

Obviously it's the refrain of a CCP propagandist but of course, any one else parroting such a view is a complete dullard and a useful idiot for the CCP.

Usual Cold War codswallop on offer.

Oh my sweet dullard of a child.

Almost 1 million African-Americans and Latinos incarcerated in US prisons; on average over the last four years 370 African-Americans and Latinos have been killed by police per year.

I think we have to be even handed in our condemnation.

The Chinese are utter rotter to the Uighurs. We get it. But threads dedicated to one nation's atrocities cant bear the weight of its own argument. It's just too easy to crumble under inspection of the nations its critics are based in and defending.

Pretty horrific this, if true (and I have no reason to doubt it):

Xinjiang: more than half a million forced to pick cotton, report suggests

Forced labour much more widespread than initially thought in China region that supplies a fifth of the world’s cotton

www.theguardian.com

There was an article in the booklet the anti-slavery international charity send out about this bloody shocking.
The treatment of North Korean forcefully sent to work in factories in China is a disgrace as well, the North Korean government gets a fee for the women, the Chinese then charge them rent ECT leaving them next to nothing and resorting to prostitution just to feed themselves.

Good as an example of racism you will ever get be that conscious or unconscious, don't know what's worse in the 21st century. No excuse because it's a political and media agenda.

Difference is Dave is that news of the West's ill behavior is rightfully plastered all over the place - people aren't ignorant of it.

People are sadly ignorant of the Uighur phlight. Whatever I can do to highlight it, to bring it to the fore, I'm going to do. If you would prefer to keep it hushed up, then that's on your conscience. Just don't try to justify it because you can't.

Yeah, it's received no coverage.

FFS, it's plastered all over the place. If the Palestinians received half the coverage the Uighurs got the Israeli apartheid state would be howling.

Windmilling of the highest order here. Double standards all over the place, contradictions at every turn.

Windmilling of the highest order here. You've absolutely no idea.

I know people in glass houses would do well not to throw stones.

What are your qualifications David?

You speak with such authority on this topic that you surely have some.

In other words "I have none, it's just that the CCP has the word 'communist' in their name so they're definitely on my side".

Thanks for playing David. Off you pop.
