    Yes, obviously is it. The PRC has done, and continues to do, bad things. The racist imperialism in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Tibet, as well as Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi is bad and should be denounced.

    Now, what’s your actual point?

    The actions of the PRC do not excuse, and are less genocidal than what is Israel is doing with US support in Palestine, or the attacks on indigenous people in South America and India, taking place due to capitalist expansion (Or indeed the killings and destruction brought about by capitalist expansion of the PRC in Myanmar and Laos).
    Hell, if the state of the US keeps up the way LGBT people are treated in the US will become more genocidal than the PRC’s treatment of ethnic minorities. The way the US has treated American Indians may not be quite as culturally corrosive right now, but that’s because the destroy their culture and get rid of the intellectual who speak out part has thankfully, grown less severe over the last 80 years (in part because it had been felt a success by those who wanted to force Indians to integrate and assimilate (read: sinicise (read: be culturally destroyed)).

      My point is to expose the hypocrites, who only use the genocide as a talking point when its convenient vs the people who actually have morals.

      If youre willing to call it genocide, im not criticising you

        You certainly picked a doozy of an example, as I think I only ever see it mentioned by people trying to drum up China hate - who usually go on to ignore Palestine, India, Brazil, and I’m sure many ethnic cleansing cases I’m forgetting.

          Oh thats interestng can you point out an example?

          Ive never seen that, but I do see tankies constantly not care about genocides in china and only seem to care about it happening in other countries.

            Tankies are very good at ignoring anything even possibly non-ideal in the PRC and USSR (and sometimes even Russia too!).

            I’ll try to remember to link it in a new reply to you next time I stumble across it being used in order to deflect from the US or draw criticism to China over the topic at hand.
