China, a true moral exemplar. One of the few supporters of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the only reason the NK regime continues, and all the while carrying out a genocide of their own against the Uyghurs.

I’ve traveled to Xinjiang three times in the past five years — a beautiful and mysterious region. The term “genocide” feels somewhat ridiculous to me.

    What word would you use to describe the ongoing persecution?

    Mass internment for ethnic reasons alone, forced labour, sterilization of women, etc. historically have been used to significantly reduce specific populations in size, which appears to be the game plan of the Chinese government.
