These narratives have real world consequences. Anytime you mention Xinjiang or that China is committing a “genocide” to liberals and conservatives it helps spread this shit. It helps reinforce Sinophobic narratives and will result in more deaths. Combat these lies and this propaganda where you see It. It is our moral duty to do so.
It’s a pretty normal position if you are an American, we haven’t gone to war over genocide since WWII, we never intervened in Sudan or Somalia or Rwanda or any other country doing genocide
And since this will be my last post here: do you really think that a war between China and the US is what us genocide believers want? A war between two fully nuclear armed nations? Just how do you think that war would end? It’d end with everyone in the world dead.
I would say we’ve never gone to war over genocide. I think we pretty much entered WW2 because we we’re dragged into it. If Japan wasn’t threatening US colonies (Philippines) which prompted the oil embargo and which then caused pearl harbor, I don’t think we would have ever been involved.
A war between two fully nuclear armed nations?
I don’t think this is politically possible.
But, imagine a border conflict between India and China, not fully acknowledged by any involved country, into which NATO pours resources and escalates for a decade without ever becoming a “war” or even getting more than a token news story. That seems like it could happen.
The war in the middle east was always a war against communism. Afghanistan was used to beat the USSR and now they plan on using Xinjiang and Turkey to beat China.
China saw what happened with the Soviets though, and is proceeding cautiously. They aren’t sending troops and they’re focusing on internal affairs first. If they can keep this up, I don’t see how they’ll collapse first. They’ll always lose the arms race against America and they know that.
