      Sky news is the far-right / fox news outlet of Australia. Finding things they don’t lie about would be more difficult.

          The thing is supposed eye witness testimonies are not really conclusive evidence. In the name of evidence of these supposed atrocities, all we have is analyses of satellite images, malicious misinterpretations of Xinjaing’s demographic data, and eyewitness testimonies of alleged victims who work closely with Washington funded organizations.

          This policeman has been scrutinized too. Supposedly upon retiring, as a Chinese policeman you are supposed to submit your uniforms and gear. But Mr. Jiang still has his things at hand. Chinese literate people have also pointed out that the text on his badge is gibberish.

          I can’t really say for sure whether the criticisms are true or not since I am not Chinese. But the fact still remains that for an allegation as grave as systemic incarceration and torture of an ethnic minority, something like this won’t fly. If you ever wonder why despite all this noise, countries are not taking any steps against China for what would be an atrocity were it true, it’s not because the business interests in the rest of the world are beholden to Chinese hegemony which has their tongues tied, but because there really isn’t any solid evidence for this.

          All this coupled with the fact that the US has a long history of lying about countries it considers adversarial rings a lot of alarm bells for me.

          I’m not sure why you’ve been down-voted for saying that you don’t have enough information to comment.

          I guess we’ve gotten to the point where it’s gauche to let ignorance stop you from passionately arguing about international news.
