I've been wondering how I could bring this up with the mainland Chinese I know. It's particularly difficult, because for some of them I'm in a supervisory/managerial role, but I don't want to put pressure on them, which would raise all sort of other ethical dilemmas and would likely not be effective. Anyone else can share experiences?
No major Muslim country says anything about China. Should make you question everything the mainstream "free" world narrative says about China.
Old boomer era propaganda wont work :D come up with something new lazy people.
A recommended watch: https://youtu.be/WmId2ZP3h0c This is what China wants you to see. Now think about what they don't watch you to see.
This is what happens when you show this evidence to a Chinese Ambassador and diplomat. [0] [0] https://twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status/1284784810200838145

My suggestion is that you shouldn't bother. The Chinese people would not believe the Western media narrative on Xinjiang (XJ), which also doesn't really have credible sources if look deeper into their "facts" [0]. And it is increasingly clear that the XJ narrative is a US-backed propaganda rather than factual reporting [1]. Most of us would consider the western people being brainwashed into believing whatever the med…
As a Muslim, I do not believe this. I still remember the Iraq war. No need to believe state media companies like BBC that never questioned the narrative in the "free" world. China will win hearts, propaganda will lose. No major Muslim country says anything about China. Should make you question everything the mainstream "free" world narrative says about China.

This is clearly visible given that politicians keep arguing that it is biased towards the other side.
If you're interested in this topic, I strongly suggest you all read The China Crisis By: James R. Gorrie It provides amazing insight into what's happening in the region & what we can expect to see over the coming years.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
There are two outcomes: 1: They really will not know what you're talking about and think you're crazy and just hate Chinese people (this is common). 2: They will somewhat know what you're talking about, and have a massive list of bad things your country has done/is still doing, and you won't be happy (this is also common, but slightly less common) If you were good friends, you can mention this and drop it and try to…
> They will somewhat know what you're talking about, and have a massive list of bad things your country has done/is still doing, and you won't be happy Ignoring the "at work" part, you can then both realize that you should acknowledge and fight against any country doing bad things and that these bad things are not excused because other countries (or people) are also doing bad things. Two wrongs don't make a right. (I…

While not so much as, say, the Guardian, I remember the BBC questioning the US/UK government narrative, and indeed outright refuting it on a number of points. It's been quite a while, ISTR it was the BBC was one of the earlier (at least of the large number of news sources I was then following) carried the detailed breakdown of how the supposed WMD trailers were, and were known by both the British and American governments to be, systems for inflating and deploying weather balloons that had been sold to Iraq by the British government in the 1980s.
> China will win hearts, propaganda will lose.
The two statements are incompatible. You probably mean to replace the second with “Chinese propaganda will win.”
> No major Muslim country says anything about China
A lot of them are looking to China to counterbalance other regional threats, and others (notably Malaysia) have overtly expressed concern about China's actions towards the Uighurs but also explicitly said they can't take a stand on the issue because of the risk of provoking China.
> Should make you question everything the mainstream "free" world narrative says about China.
Why should the “free world” saying the same thing as Muslim countries that aren’t trying to seek Chinese support for geopolitical reasons, but louder because they aren't under meaningful immediate threat by China, make me question what they are saying?
