Let me guess, every single media source in the world is lying and the CCP is the only one telling the truth.
Your government are basically modern nazis, except their Aryan race is Han Chinese.
AP news article
Cites as source Adrian Zenz, an evangelical Christian on a mission from god to fight the godless communists, who writes non-peer-reviewed articles and is funded by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, which itself is funded by the US government, and which officially counts Nazi soldiers killed on the eastern front during WW2 as victims of communism.
Adrian Zenz co-authored a book on biblical numerology, trying to find hidden codes in the bible to decipher when the apocalypse is going to occur: Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation
He's a total clown and his "data analysis" on birth control in Xinjiang has been debunked for being blatant misinterpretation of statistics.
More insane shit about Zenz is collected here: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Adrian_Zenz
They also interview a woman who will be fined for having a third child, which was the law for every woman in China at the time.
That shitty article even backs my point:
Choice quote to underline the bias of this article:
Are they insinuating that these were not carried out by Islamist terrorists? Who did that then and why?
BBC article
Again based on a report by Adrian Zenz, see above. First sentence:
Aljazeera article
Is literally just reporting on the AP news article above. They have a link to it and everything.
I think saying "your government" is too mean towards the commenter. They might not work for that government and the people of that country are hostages so maybe they're just someone elsewhere with misinformed knowledge currently? Otherwise an informative post
Your point is fair, I just met many mainland Chinese, and while some buy in, most tend to take a "yes the government is evil, but what can you do?" Approach.
I tend to take defenders as either paid or unpaid collaborators because I consider it a safe assumption, but I am taking liberties.
