I really don't know much about the topic but every time I see it on reddit or somewhere else I wonder if China really wanted to commit genocide they would have had decades before China opened up to the West. Maybe I'm missing the historical context. I am from Europe.

I wasn't being critical of your title. Just pointing out that the headline is safer for the atlantic without the quotes, if that makes sense. It was a good article, glad you posted.

I added the Quotes because it seems more honest that way to me. I think Chang Che wrote this piece quite objectively and that it doesn't fear to tread on what the pro-Beijing / CCP crowd would like to be openly discussed.

I haven't read the whole article yet, only the excerpt you posted. However, is this not a kinda crazy article to come out of the atlantic? or do they normally publish articles along these lines?
Edit - i'll admit, no quotations around "communists" in the atlantic article really changes the way the headline reads.

You are doing something right if the government hates your joke that much.

Wow.
So much for "communists destroying private property"! Not sure people in similar situations in North America would last that long.

The thing that bugs me the most is when tankies try to point to rising GDP and "development" and say China is improving the area. China is using the exact same colonist playbook every colonizer has used. In 1953, Uyghur people made ~75% of the population there. Today they're a minority
China HAS "developed" the region rapidly. That's the problem. It's pushed ethnic Han to move there and invested heavily in infrastructure and development in order to justify their colonization of the area. It's the same strategy as Israel rapidly establishing settlements on Palestinian lands to use the fact that Israelians outnumber Palestinians to justify their land claims. Its the same thing Morocco did as soon as they forcefully took Saharawi land
The history of East Turkistan can be traced back over 4,000 years and is very complex. People have been fighting for their right to self-governance (or lack thereof) for possibly as long. Yes, I don't doubt there were revolutionaries who justified violent action to achieve their goals. China began opening up about their problem with Islamic "terrorism" right after 9/11 as they saw the US's move towards justifying their Islamophobia as something they could capitalize on to gain international sympathy. Obviously the US won this political battle. US propaganda plays this up every chance it gets, but denying the very existence of these camps isn't skepticism. It's just being a reactionary

does nihilism scare you because you want a strong leader to convince you everything will be okay?

What's so bad about that? Sounds good to me.

So it's nihilism with extra steps?

Sounds like the genocide denial section might be informative for you then based on this comment.
