    Point at where I said genocide. I didn’t use that word here because I know it’s contested in this case and I know it has a definition that I’m not interested in degrading. You said that word.

    Regardless, this has nothing to do with my point. My point is that if a country is doing $thing, pointing at $otherthing means nothing. You’re deflecting.

    Do US people deflect by pointing at China? Yep. Our guys totally deflect when they want to distract from shit. But this post brought it up, so own it.

      Fair I was filling in the blanks of your argument. I disagree with China having to own the accusations made against its treatment of its Uighur minority, there’s a lot of evidence out there that this is a US funded campaign to discredit China internationally, similar to how they used Tibet as a propaganda campaign in the 90’s.

      Regardless, I agree China has done bad things, similar to many powers in the world, and they should own (be accountable to) those mistakes. In this context I don’t see the need for them to own anything however, instead they should continue to defend their reputation, and point out human rights issues in the west.
