I don't think it's any worth to argue with them. They are on an agenda to push for a narrative that waters down terms like "colonialism", "imperialism" & "genocide". When these terms are arbitrarily used, the original significance is diluted and lost.
A consolidated thread about China & Uyghur issue "researcher" Adrian Zenz.
His reports about "1 million Uyghur in concentration camps", "forced sterilization", "coerced labor" is widely cited by MSM but never peer-reviewed by any social scientists or demographic researchers.
Zenz initiated the "1 million" number, obtained from a Turkey-based Uighur separatist media which regularly features extremists like jihadist preacher Nureddin Yıldız, urging Uighur people to “do Jihad not only against China but also Jews & others”.
Adrian Zenz proudly "debunk" a real professor's question about his "research": "I reviewed local academic literature!!! 😭😭😭" with a screenshot of his report in which he misinterpreted EVERY SINGLE Chinese term he cited.
Zenz, In case you don't know, access to birth control and family planning services is the BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS of women!!!! You think women around the world are going to watch your far-right propaganda get broadcasted by MSM 24/7 and not to call you out?
Since the topic is brought up, I'll give another examples of how these far-right religious conservatives are pushing for a narrative that's endangering gender-equality, blocking women from accessing family planning, job opportunities & independence
In a report regarding "coerced labor", Zenz claims that the programs providing Uighur women workers with “full-time (at least full day-time) education and training settings” for kids will result in "dissolution of traditional, religious and family life" archive.is/9uDHV
A free DAY-CARE program!!! So many working women around world DREAM about resources like that!! No one would regard it as a threat to "traditional, religious and family life" except someone who sincerely believes that it's a SIN for women to work and gain financial power
Why you're calculating education attainment against the whole population aged 15+, and not for school age population only? School age data is much more relevant & is very compelling in showing XJ's EXCEPTIONAL improvement especially for Uyghur students.
HS enrollment increased 32%, jumped from falling behind to leading the nation. In four (Uyghur majority) southern XJ prefectures, middle school graduates entering HS increased from 38% in 2009 to 84% in 2014 and 98.6% today. A 60% increase!
Also, minority students took up only 60% of the student body in 2010, and increased to 77.5% in 2019. This is another evidence showing how minority students were falling behind in education and quickly caught up with Han students in the past 10 years.
I made it clear that underaged marriage &
inadequate education is the problem of POVERTY. It happens in Han communities & other countries as well. Your calling girls going to school "civilized the brutes" really exposed your colonizer mentality.
So stop projecting yourself and labeling everything you don't like "racist". No civilization is better than another, and no one ever "civilized" anyone. EVERY SINGLE PERSON living on the earth, DESERVE MODERNIZATION!
Not everyone is born as a privileged westerner in a developed country like you. Women living in developing countries also deserve education, jobs and financial independence. I'm sure they'll make their education more worthwhile than yours.
