What's China doing that's worse? What evidence is there that these are actually drug traffickers?

You could start with killing disfavoured people to order for their organ donor programme. Or that whole Tibet thing.

I mean, China has committed an ACTUAL genocide.

This is neocon propaganda that only simpletons believe.

And yet, the arguments against the narrative of Uighur genocide seem to exclusively be childish insults. Seriously, I see comments just like this all the time when someone mentions Uighur genocide, of which there is some evidence, and never an actual refutation. Are simpletons those who believe evidence might indicate truth, or those who let themselves be browbeaten by tribalism into believing otherwise? I wouldn't even ask if I thought you were just a CCP bot but your post history suggests you're not.

If the Chinese are committing genocide against the Uighurs, the US is also committing genocide against its black population, which it imprisons and kills at much higher rates. I'm willing to accept that both are committing active genocide but few China-haters seem to be.

Yes, it is.

No, the burden of proof is on the proponents of this.

same thing for a "genocide" in Palestine

Good thing we have plenty

That's a lazy and irrelevant response because, as I actually said, evidence has been provided. If it's bad evidence, say that, instead of making a new claim that someone else is an idiot, for which the burden of proof is on you.

Further, these comments tend to come with the claim that the whole thing is a CIA/FBI hoax. Guess who bears the burden of proof for that? (Don't bother guessing. It's the person making the claim.)

Just curious, why should I believe this is merely neocon propaganda? I've read tidbits about this off & on over the years and it doesn't seem that straight forward, even if calling it genocide is on the hyperbolic side.

Technically its just ethnic cleaning because its trying to destroy their local culture. But somehow I bet you don't want to base your argument on this technicality.

You probably also say the Wuhan lab virus theory is "racist"

the US has as well, as part of its founding. the natives didnt just disappear. Hitler took inspiration from the US on the topic

yes... not sure what your point is though in the context of this conversation.
