Thank you for sharing this information. Living in an imperialist country makes it hard to understand China’s politics and not fall into some of the propaganda against it, even if you’re careful.
No problem! Yea, it can be very difficult, searching in English for example always props up results for NYT, CNN, Fox, etc, and we know how biased these sources are when it comes to, say, Palestine. Understanding how China works is going to be very important going forward.
You are most likely responding to an astroturf agent 😬 they linked a Chinese (state owned) tabloid as a source on the uyghur genocide being fake. I can link you to the comment if you want I would just warn that they are cleary not trying to convince for the sake of informing people.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by me linking a “state-owned tabloid?” The large majority of sources I link are western, because I know I would get accusations of bad-faith if I primarily linked Chinese or otherwise global south sources (regardless of accuracy, truth, or legitimacy). This character assassination holds no water whatsoever, you can feel free to argue against the sources I’ve linked if you like but making up conspiracy theories about me is low.
