    Please prove yourself by walking in traditional uyghur clothing with an uyghur flag in a city like kashgar and live stream the event. Prove how accepting the general public is and how the police will treat you respectfully.

      Yes, don’t be surprised when the locals rightfully get pissed at a white person appropriating their culture in their homeland for internet clout.

      If you’re talking about the actual people of that cultutre doing it, there are tons on both RedNote and YouTube if you search in Chinese or Uyghur.

      Actually, most of these comments seem to stem from people not finding videos like these when searching in English and therefore automatically assuming they don’t exist. Even though they do. And that’s assuming you searched at all in any language which most of you haven’t. Surprise surprise, most Uyghurs in Xinjiang don’t speak or upload videos in English.

        Many people said the same of Berlin, Hamburg, and other German cities while Jews were kept as slaves in factories and trained out to camps to be gassed. A nice looking city says nothing about the treatment of minorities. In fact many of the “nicest cities” in the world were built on the blood and bones of indigenous inhabitants.

          Nobody had pocket video cameras during ww2 or sattelites that can take high definition photos of any patch of dirt on earth, with current tech it would be extremely easy to get a shitload of incontrovertible physical evidence from countless angles, and yet after years of accusations we have none

              Nothing in this even comes close to proving a genocide, they can’t even conclusively prove that the structures in question are detention facilites lol, try harder patriot

              To clarify, do I think the Uigers are being massacred at population scale? I don’t know. Do I think they are having their culture forceably erradicated and medical population control forced on them, and intentional han population being moved into the region to make them into a population majority to take away any regional political or social influence the Uigers might have? Absolutely.
