you can truly convince a westerner of anything
Muslims living in China disagree with you as many testimonies in the videos I linked show. And all the Muslim countries disagree with you as well as do Muslims who have traveled to Xinjiang from these countries.
Your articles did not answer the simple question: why do all the Mosques suddenly look like Han temples? Please do not address any other point except the mosque exterior change.
There are over 24,400 mosques in China, and pretty sure vast majority of them do not in fact look like Han temples. I don’t know what the actual reason for change in the look of the mosques FT chose to parade is, but there isn’t even a serious suggestion that it’s representative of any sort of a general trend. It’s incredibly disappointing that somebody would accept very obvious propaganda completely uncritically.
Yes, the source very much does matter because sources can distort the truth, lie by omission, and create a narrative that’s completely at odds with reality. Contrast this with reporting from an actual Muslim country https://www.thejakartapost.com/academia/2018/09/25/xinjiang-what-a-wonderful-place.html
Even western media reports on occasion that Xinjiang imams defend China against U.S. criticism
And of course, all the Muslim majority countries have been supporting China against western allegations

Here’s another report from Italy of all places https://idi-international.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/New-Report.pdf
Here’s what a reporter from Pakistan who actually visited Xinjiang had to say https://dailytimes.com.pk/723317/exposing-the-occidents-baseless-lies-about-xinjiang/
Here are some very different videos of Uyghurs for you https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkbOIKUddMBtp0_xEFqn4zey48kkgJq5w
The political angle around the narrative around Xinjiang is very transparent. For example, here’s George Bush’s chief of staff openly saying that US wants to destabilize the region. An ex-CIA operative details US operations radicalizing and training terrorists in the region in this book. Here’s an excerpt:
US has been stoking terrorism in the region while they’ve been running a propaganda campaign against China in the west. In fact, US even classified Uyghur separatists as a terrorist group at one point https://www.mintpressnews.com/us-was-at-war-uyghur-terrorists-now-claims-etim-doesnt-exist/276916/
Here’s an interview with a son of imam killed in Xinjiang https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-06-19/Son-of-imam-assassinated-in-Kashgar-s-2014-mosque-attack-speaks-out-RqNiyrcRuo/index.html
Yeah, but have you considered that China is genociding deserts and the fossil fuel industry!
Funny there was not a single brain cell engaged in writing the parent comment.
But I’m sure thats just coincidence, right guys 🙃
How can you even trust a source where tiny morsels of actual content aren’t obscured by layers of ads.

We are so lucky to live in the enlightened west where we have so much free and unbiased media available to us unlike those oriental savages.
This is what happens when underdeveloped critical faculties are subjected to sustained saturation of propaganda. 👆
No, my point is that less people died overall compared to the way things were previously. It’s incredible that you’re struggling so hard to understand this. You linked wikipedia because skimming through wiki links is peak intellectual engagement for you. I’m glad to see that I won’t have to read more of your drivel going forward. Bye.
lol that wasn’t why it was in China in the first place, as Tim Cook explains here https://peertube.mesnumeriques.fr/w/ek3Q1mdFUMEBMxhT46Qrev
the original actually looks better as the paw holding the bottle isn’t weird
I love how when faced with an actual paper showing how life expectancy increased, you counter with wikipedia further highlighting your intellectual prowess. The idiocy of your “argument” is to ignore what life expectancy was like BEFORE the revolution, and the fact that famines were already a common occurrence. If you spend a bit of time actually understanding the subject before opining on it, then you’ll be able to avoid making a clown of yourself in public in the future. Maybe start by actually reading the paper I linked.
great idea, here’s an alternative voting system
Meanwhile in the real world
Between 1950 and 1980, China experienced the most rapid sustained increase in life expectancy of any population in documented global history. We know of no study that has quantitatively assessed the relative importance of the various explanations proposed for this gain in survival. We have created and analysed a new, province-level panel data set spanning the decades between 1950 and 1980 by combining historical information from China’s public health archives, official provincial yearbooks, and infant and child mortality records contained in the 1988 National Survey of Fertility and Contraception. Although exploratory, our results suggest that gains in school enrolment and public health campaigns together are associated with 55-70 per cent of China’s dramatic reductions in infant and under-5 mortality during our study period. These results underscore the importance of non-medical determinants of population health, and suggest that, in some circumstances, general education of the population may amplify the effectiveness of public health interventions.

Should do an AMA on what it’s like to put those clown shoes on every morning.
You’re right, this post would be removed there.

The effectiveness of Western propaganda lies in its alignment with preexisting biases. When narratives depicting China as inherently oppressive or barbaric are disseminated, they perfectly fit with Orientalist worldviews these people hold.
