Yes! It's the Uyghur Mandatory Cultural Reorientation!
OP and shillbot 300 /u/rtmxavi is furiously guzzling that scrumptious Chinese peepee. Aren't they feeding him at home?
holy frick we are not defending china, theyre not even socialist or leftist but state capitalist
You're ignorant and don't know what a dictatorship of the proletariat is
The dictatorship of the proletariat is radically democratic for those proletarians, which party domination doesn't work for. Hope this helps! (But yes, dictatorships of the proletariat aren't meant to be immediately socialist, but they're also not meant to reproduce capitalist relations.)
I don't care what any state says, systematic cultural erasure is genocide.
Yeah so that's not happening. China literally builds more mosques in urumanqi alone than the entirety of the us. They CELEBRATE Uighur culture over there
What an hilarious misunderstanding on our part then
as a chinese person currently in southern china, there is a genocide going on against the uyghurs in xinjiang but it's more of a cultural cleansing than a cut and dry "kill them all". don't get me wrong, lots of uyghurs have been persecuted and many have died at the hands of the chinese state. however, in modern day, it's more about a cultural erasure and effort to "unify china": we can see it happening with cantonese and the southern dialects as well.
Baseless claims
my family is native to the guangzhou region, and the government is actively trying to prevent dialects other than mandarin from being taught in schools, so much so that my guangzhou born relatives (region that historically speaks cantonese) DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SPEAK CANTO. in the CITY WHERE CANTO ORIGINATED FROM. my own family members have been taught to speak mandarin rather than their native dialect simply because the chinese government wants to present a "unified front". they're not killing us but they're killing the diversity that makes the country so beautiful to begin with
Whomst to trust?
I know Uyghers on my area. Their stories are heart breaking. Even if it doesn't fit the legal definition of genocide, it is absolutely a crime against humanity.
Propaganda^
There's lots more slapfighting in the thread but I'm to lazy to read it so it would be hypocritical to quote it here as if I read it

/u/drkitalian I don't know why tankies feel the need to deny this. Gulagging Muslims is unfathomably based and is the reason why China will take over the world.

All this talk of 'Cultural Erasure' on the part of the Chinese but the way I see it, they're just using it as a euphemism for 'Cultural Correction'.

The Chinese have a very unique way of talking to Muslims. They call them "Uggs" rather than "Uighurs" to remove the dignity of the name. They also use "Uggs" to refer to their own people as a joke. They call themselves: "Uggs of the earth"

Muzzies don't beat out
s, that's why Muslims have to hide their power levels in public. See this seething article about the Muslims Scottish PM having to embrace LGBT.
