Why would ASPI do credible research into the ethnic minorities in China? Who are ASPI again? Actually, what's ASPI's own track record of being directly responsible for systematic murder of muslims?
How could you possibly believe this? Which part of his work do you find well reasoned? Is it the work he does with VoC where he says Covid-19 is a communist weapon? Is it Worthy to Escape where he says that if you abuse women, homosexuals or children, you're always morally in the right because those actions repel the Antichrist?
I understand you think Xi Xinping is very good at kung fu because he's Chinese, so there's nothing anyone can do to stop his Hokuto Shinken, but China actually has over a milliard Chinese people, and they're equally Chinese, so their Kung Fu should be just as strong. Hope this helps =)
Ctrl F, RFA 7 matches, RFERL 6 matches, radio free 7 matches, uhrp.org to see how many times they source themselves. There are 23 matches but only 19 instances of them using circular sourcing. ASPI 1 match. Jamestown 2 matches. There are some better sources in there, like Human Rights Watch, but the HRW article in question uses Adrian Zenz as their source. The only source I'm seeing quickly that isn't directly with zero steps of separation tied to a NATO member spy agency or propaganda agency is NY Times.
For the New York Times article though be careful following their Tinyurl link because it goes through a Viglink reroute that is unlikely to be safe. I can't imagine why else they'd find it appropriate to use a tinyurl link in their paper if not to attack readers. You can use an extractor service. But anyway if you read that article you'll see that their source is only Uyghur Human Rights Project so it's a circular citation again. No I don't check stuff like this every time. But by now we should know that Uyghur Human Rights Project is an untrustworthy front for Adrian Zenz and stop when we encounter it.
Adrian Zens is integral to the Uyghur Human Rights Project. I suppose I don't do new research, I just follow links until I find something I've judged as untrustworthy before. He's not directly credited as a contributor, but Uyghur Human Rights Project uses him as their source for all their publishing, and invites him to their events.
I'd like to draw attention to how every tankie who commented in this thread actually looked at the sources whereas the liberals mostly read the headline.
Can't you guys just stop using Adrian Zens? Is no one else able to make up unhinged nonsense about China? Literally all it takes is for him to adopt a pseudonym and the credibility of the propaganda increases entirely for free.
I feel I should add context that /r/Europe is not a subreddit for Europeans, but white Americans (Ethnically European), so they don't have any political or current events understanding of Europe.
/r/worldnews wants to tell me it's 'corruption' that the IOC doesn't ban people with Russian backgrounds but I don't understand the logic. Wouldn't bowing to western money be the corrupt move?
So just out of curiosity, which one of these crimes voids "sanctity of human life"?
