    uyghur and tibetan genocide deniers

    You mean like the ethnically and religiously diverse muslim delegations from around the world that investigated the claims of uyghur genocide and declared them unfounded?

    Here is an article trying to spin it from voice of america, a state funded US media outlet:

    https://www.voanews.com/a/arab-league-visits-china-s-xinjiang-region-rejects-uyghur-genocide/7131285.html

    I think the claims of genocide in Tibet are kinda goofy, given the US is trying to prop up some child-tongue-sucking theocratic feudalists to install as their regime.

      “What do you mean genocide? They only imprisoned an entire population based on their religion…”

        1 in 5 black men in the US above 35 have been in jail, the numbers aren’t even close in Xinjiang, no matter the source you use. Reeducation camps in a (so far very successful) war against terrorism =/= genocide. Go watch Little Chinese Everywhere (Chinese travel vlogger) videos on Xinjiang, especially in Kashgar, judge for yourself whether a genocide is going on there.

            Thing is: kinda? With Palestine you were able to find new footage every day of innocents being exterminated, there’s never been even remotely anything compared to that in Xinjiang

              Is it possible that the travel bloggers simply didn’t go to the concentration camps?

                Everyone in China has a smartphone, as you probably known people pay 90% of the time using QR codes with WeChat or Alipay. It’s not believable that there isn’t footage of the “horrendous concentration camps” plastered all over western media, if there was any footage, we’d be exposed to it nonstop
