*sigh* What's with these articles about how ineffective Chinese vaccines are?? They don't even do some basic comparisons and statistical analysis...so, let me do it for them.
reuters.com/world/asia-pac…
Indonesia indeed uses mainly Chinese made vaccines: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_…
However, roll out has been relatively slow and only 4.5% are fully vaccinated. This could explain why cases are increasing again and why there are still over 1,000 deaths per week.
Now, let's see the same stats for the US, which has not used any Chinese made vaccines at all. We can see that the US has more than 45% fully vaccinated, 10x higher than Indonesia. So, the infection and death rates should be way lower, right? RIGHT??
Here's the comparison in the last 7 days, according to Worldometer. US infection and death rates are still HIGHER than Indonesia, although admittedly on a downward trend. So, where are the articles saying the Western vaccines don't work, based on this data??
That's not even adjusting for the fact Indonesia can't compare to the US with regards to hospital quality.

Here, I want to examine an article by Byler that is repeatedly used to push a Uyghur forced marriages narrative: supchina.com/2019/08/07/uyg…

It is at least cited by Amnesty Jun 2021, New Lines Inst Mar 2021, HRW Apr 2021 & Campaign for Uyghurs Oct 2020 (respective screenshots below)
Before we even start looking at the article, let's have a think about the narrative. It goes: "Han Supremacist China is trying to dilute the culture and bloodline of the Uyghurs, by forcing Uyghurs (mostly women) to marry Hans." Consider the logical fallacies of this narrative:
1. Why would Han Supremacists send their children to marry members of a perceived inferior race?
2. How do you force people to stay married without the support of the people involved, when there are divorce laws?
3. People don't forget their culture when they marry members...

Recently, Amnesty International released a report on the situation in Xinjiang, recommending that China "immediately release all persons held in internment camps or other detention facilities – including prisons – in Xinjiang...". This is my review of it. xinjiang.amnesty.org
First, let's look at the title and note 2 important things:
1) It doesn't use the word "genocide"; and
2) It doesn't use the word "Uyghur".

Instead, it refers to 3 potential Crimes Against Humanity (CAH) and Muslims as a whole.
Whilst this allows them to avoid the obvious problems with the genocide claim (see thread below), it creates new problems for Amnesty to answer. For example, why is the persecution limited to Muslims in Xinjiang? Why not all of China?

@BadChinaTake Firstly, let me commend you for trying to have an evidence based discussion on this. In this thread, I want ask some clarifying questions. I hope we can keep things civil.
Satellite Imagery article: wokeglobaltimes.com/5d34bc453be548…

You say it would not be surprising if there are errors. Have you ascertained what is their error rate? Should we not double confirm sites as camps, before reporting them as such, i.e. “innocent until proven guilty” principle?
Detained Numbers piece: wokeglobaltimes.com/f8b64df5a00743…

Which do you think is the most accurate estimate, and why? Do you think it’s reasonable from a cost and logistical point of view for 25% of the entire Uyghur population to be in detention? What are the potential flow on effects?

There's a new report out on the Uyghur genocide issue, purporting to show credible evidence of genocide. This time, there's finally a discussion on the intent of state action, with references! Let's take closer a look at this section in the report:

…c3hdi6ss66vpc-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/upl… Image
The section on intent start on page 35, and there are a number of cases used as references. I will focus on Bosnia v Serbia and Croatia v Serbia, because they discuss the issue of proving state intent directly and in the most amount of detail. Image
In Croatia v Serbia, the ICJ said that the intent must be to achieve physical or biological destruction of the group. Mental harm or forcible transfer of children will constitute genocide, if that is indeed the end goal. (Para. 136, page 64)

This is a thread to examine Adrian Zenz's report on birth control in Xinjiang (XJ). He has complained that people attack his credibility rather than his work, so I will attempt to examine his analysis and claims on their merits. This will take some time... jamestown.org/wp-content/upl…
S0.0: Editor's note includes a fundamental misunderstanding of Chinese language and intentions. 中华民族 is interpreted to mean a uniform "Chinese Nation-Race". However, the Chinese government's definition includes all 56 races within Chinese borders. baike.baidu.com/item/%E4%B8%AD… Image
S0.1: This is a major error and provides an incorrect context for the whole report. There is an implicit assumption that the government wants assimilation due to use of this term, but the term is actually an all-inclusive term with no implications of assimilation.

This is a thread to examine below report from Campaign for Uyghurs, including evidence presented in the report. There will be 3 main sub-threads, S for Section of Report, R for References provided, and C for my Conclusions. This will be long...

S0.0: Description on page 2 of cover image is incorrect. The image comes from a 3 day event on de-radicalization or anti-extremism, which was held across multiple locations in XJ. Participants included religious figures who gave speeches. Source: web.archive.org/web/2018082015… ImageImage
S0.1: Here are some other images from the event. Note the prevalence of both Uyghur and Chinese text. ImageImageImageImage
