me: even the state dept doesn't consider it a genocide
state dept: this isn't a genocide (we still think it's really bad though)
you: dId YoU eVeN rEaD yOuR oWn LiNk?
I'm sorry that I chose to be concise rather than fully elucidate every single nuance of the state dept's position. Regardless, my initial point still stands, that the evidence of the supposed crimes in Xinjiang is incredibly lacking compared to the allegations made against the Chinese government.
That's literally not what was said, but stunning reading comprehension, as usual.
How could you read an article about how there is insufficient evidence to prove a genocide and conclude that that means that there is a genocide?
I see you didn't even read the small excerpt I pulled out; I'll post it again in the vain hope that you might read it this time.
You neglected to re-repost this critical paragraph.
and then there's this part
In context, this means that the Chinese government has not shown this intent. Which means that they can not be considered to be committing genocide. Which is also what the title of the article says.
Is it ableist of me to tell you that you need some reeducation of your own? Not ideological reeducation - I'm talking about a rehash of middle school reading comprehension, because you somehow keep reading this paragraph that says "the Chinese are not committing genocide" and coming back to me saying "this proves that the Chinese are committing genocide".
You:
The source, explicitly:
Sorry that English is so difficult for you to parse.
jk, I know you understand, you just find simping for fascism more fun. :)
That sentence is from the POV of the article's author, not the POV of the state dept's lawyers.
Community college is very cheap, and offers English courses covering this very thing. You should consider it.
Did you read ANY of the article you posted, or do you just read headlines?
