Sinicizating XJ will be mostly cultural genocide, which of course is immoral. Though many Uighurs will still remain Islamic but with Chinese characteristics - promoting religion is key Chinese foreign policy to connect with OBOR cultures. No, I'm not blind to it, nor to dumb western media spins, i.e. mass sterilization = 2 child policy. You can ask 1.3 billion Han how immoral one child policy and family planning was for the last 40 years. Hint: very.

The original question is how the situation is communicated and discussed in China. And I answered. You know how the west can talk about lots of issues like actual wars where we're aggressors, systemic racism that kept minority down or in jails etc with nuance? That happens in China on various topics too. At the end of the day, just like the west, many don't give a shit. Unlike the west, they can't really protest if they do. But even if they could, most probably wouldn't, because people irrationally and massively overreact to terrorism.




Hint: You didn't read the link. It has nothing to do with the N child policy. Here:

"The Chinese government has deployed a mass sterilization campaign against Muslim ethnic minorities in the country's western provinces, according to a new report, which argues the tactics could amount to genocide."

"Those camps are used as a form of threat and punishment, with officials detaining women and families who fail to comply with pregnancy checks or forced intrauterine contraceptive devices -- more commonly known as IUDs -- sterilizations, and even abortions."

> The original question is how the situation is communicated and discussed in China

I was responding to your delightful comment...

> what if XJ works?

And I pointed out your hideously lack of morality which is the point. So let's ask, how would you like it if your wife was sterilised against her will or had a forced abortion?

ANSWER THAT QUESTION PLEASE. Because that is what morality is about. If you don't like it, don't do it to others.


I did and I know much more bout the subject than you. China removing family planning policy exemptions for minorities like Uighurs started back in 2017 [1]. The policy was proposed back in 2014 [2] and was thoroughly discussed China watching circles. This is not a new policy change, and one Zenz should be aware of for at least 5+ years. I know I was. I also know this move is in context of new, 2nd gen minority policy and applies to all 55 minority groups. But he's only now conveniently claiming it's meeting the UN definition for genocide. By his definition 1.3B han has been going through more extreme one-child policy genocide for the past 40 years. To be blunt, it's another retarded Zenz hit piece coordinated with US sanctions, build up to magnitskying XPCC (2.5M paramilitary governing XJ) a few days ago.

>Moral Question

I think family planning is necessary evil for China and new 2 child policy, i.e. replacement level is a good compromise for demographic and environmental stability. Ultimately China wants to settle at <1B ppl, which is a responsible position. I have no issue with uniform quota for everyone - minorities previously had +1 child. Where the world is heading, I'd rather cultures concede to population control than vice versa.

E: Apparently applying too fast. It should make the CCP look the same way it did for the last 40 years of one-child policy. Only ones that look bad are useful idiots believing Trump + Pompeo uncritically. I wouldn't have 2 children if the family planning policy is to have 2 children. I would be in a partnership with someone that accepts that. And to be extra clear: necessary evil = I endorse.


> it's another retarded Zenz hit piece

AKA it makes the CCP look bad so it must be a 'hit piece'.

So, again, how would you like it if your wife was sterilised against her will or had a forced abortion?
