Amazing how the Uyghur population goes up each year despite being ethnically cleansed. Hopefully they can teach Palestinians how to generate more people while being eliminated
This is a horrendous rebuttal. The Palestinian population has, in fact, gone up since the Nakba, and quite often this fact has been used to dismiss the policy of apartheid and ethnic cleansing that the Zionist entity employs.
If you want to argue against nonsense claims about China's policies regarding its ethnic minorities, then focus on concrete facts, such as the lack of any corroborating evidence that there is a genocide happening. If you want to compare it to Palestine, instead compare the overwhelming flood of footage and primary source evidence of the atrocities being perpetrated even under Internet blackout and blockade, and how it would be comparably impossible for there to be a targeted policy of genocide within China that didn't have any footage or photographic evidence in the modern age.
Raw population number is itself a terrible argument against violent repression and discrimination (Palestine is not the only example of a violently oppressed people whose population has grown, either)
when's the last time missiles landed in Urumqi?
