Abuses include arbitrary mass detention of an estimated 1 million to 1.8 million people, and a program to ‘cleanse’ ethnic groups of their ‘extremist’ thoughts through re-education and forced labour. This involves multiple forms of involuntary labour at workplaces across the region and even in other parts of China, writes Jewher Ilham, Forced Labor Project Coordinator of the Worker Rights Consortium.
Uyghur forced labour is woven into the fabric of numerous global supply chains. Researchers have linked Uyghur forced labour to the supply chains of at least 17 industries, including apparel, food, information and communications technology, solar, mining, and automotive.

this comment section, bluntly speaking, sucks and is just an awful read to a non-involved participant. accordingly, i’ve wiped most of these comments out. we’ll see if that’s enough to deter the unproductive arguing, the whataboutism, and the multitude of attacks on each other, but if it isn’t then this thread will be quickly locked–and if you contribute poorly to it subsequently, i will start levying bans. this is your one warning.
a program to ‘cleanse’ ethnic groups of their ‘extremist’ thoughts through re-education and forced labour
“Arbeit macht frei”
The Chinese wrote the book on that:

Of course they can be, but unless you’re talking colorism, it’s exceedingly unlikely that a Chinese person is being racist against another Chinese person based simply on them being Chinese. And there is no evidence of that here, other than your own assumptions that Chinese people also associate themselves with Western racial tropes of calling them “yellow” as an epithet.

Do you think it’s a coincidence that the three major genocides occuring are all against Muslims?

Today I learned, didn’t know how much that had flavored up again. I’m sure there’s more I don’t know about too.
three major genocides
Which ones would be those, is there a list?
I think right now there are well over a dozen genocides going on, and while I haven’t found them ordered by number of victims, neither the Congo nor Ukraine ones are particularly against Muslims, while both seem reasonably big.
