The European Parliament overwhelmingly passed an emergency resolution Thursday condemning the Chinese government’s persecution of Uyghurs and urging China to immediately and unconditionally release detainees, including Uyghur economist Ilham Tohti and Gulshan Abbas.

The resolution is fueled by widespread concern from the international community and highlights its continued concern about the human rights situation in Xinjiang.

So, are you trying to deflect from the fact that china is slaughtering Muslims too?

The point is that Europe is not a credible indicator on whether China is slaughtering Muslims, because Europe does not give a shit about slaughtering Muslims, as they regularly do it directly via interventions in Africa and/or are facilitating it right now via weapon sales to multiple dictatorships engaged in genocide of Muslim populations.

More credible indicators, such as actual Muslim countries, say China is not slaughtering Muslims.

Awww. See, here I thought you cared about Muslim genocide, but you don’t. You support it. Shameful. Bye.

What kind of “when did you stop beating your wife” horseshit is this?

The guys accusing China are supporting actual genocides against Muslims in Palestine and Yemen, you don’t give a shit whether China is committing a genocide beyond it’s utility to support hostile actions against those same Muslims.

Or do you think the Uyghurs lives would be improved by western sanctions, arming of terrorists, and/or military intervention?

This is no different than zionists handwringing about the plight of LGBT+ people in Gaza.
