The claims of genocide against Uyghurs originated from and have been supported by since and rejected by most rest of the world.
also committed a genocide in Namibia and killed up to as many as 150,000 people over a century ago. The mechanisms and media was also used as a "blueprint" for the Holocaust/Final Solution.
Fast forward to the present, starts wailing at Namibia for establishing closer ties with China and the then-president Habe Geingob very openly accusing of , stating that China never belittles or infantilises them. Of course, Namibia (and South Africa) obviously rejects the claims of genocide against Uyghurs.
starts yet another extermination campaign against Palestine, with very clear goals of a Final Solution. in response, starts sending hundreds of millions of Euros in aid to . Worth noting that also supports the Uyghur genocide claims with the words "Free Uyghurs" written on the bombs being launched at apartment towers, hospitals, mosques and UN schools.
So South Africa finally takes the violent Nazi brat to court and immediately goes into , screaming at South Africa while Namibia tells the Olaf SSchwanz to sit down.
Meanwhile, China is not starving or bombing the Uyghurs, nor have they been forced into an extermination camp the size of municipal Johannesburg. Life expectancy, literacy rates, incomes, education have all increased. Homes now all have electricity, hot water and working toilets, there's widespread access to primary and higher education, medical treatment and is now united with the rest of China by high-speed rail. Infant mortality and crime has dropped significantly. There has not been a terror attack in nearly a decade and the desperation fueled by poverty is no longer present. Xinjiang is also now a highly important hub for mechanised agriculture and industry. The Belt and Road runs through it and in recent times, large quantities of lithium, oil and other valuable minerals have been found in the province. Uyghur culture is also frequently promoted on Chinese media and tourism both domestic and foreign, has grown. Uyghurs also have Chinese citizenship. China has also finally supported South Africa's case in the ICJ.
Hope that clears it up for you. If not, then
Death to America
Did they not have Chinese citizenship before? That's the only part of your comment I found surprising.
I think they just mean in contrast to Israel's policies on Palestinians in the lands it settles.
They always had Chinese citizenship.
Added that because a common redditor talking point is throwing the "settler-colonization" accusation in the mix
