Bit of a moot point there - I'm not sure that the world knew the extent of the Holocaust until camps were discovered during the war.

True, which is why the politicians(including us consumers) all turn our blind eyes on those victims inside China, if everything can be CONTAINED and remains INSIDE, however they FAILED(purposely or not) with COVID

How do you know that? I'm genuinely curious
Look up almost any genocide or mass killing of the 20th century, even the late 20th century, and see how nobody outside the area gave a damn.
Pre-WW2, you've got millions exterminated in the Congo Free State. The Ottoman Empire killed a million Armenians, 500,000 Greeks, 400,000 Assyrians. The British starved five million Indians to death in 1900 and two million Bengalis in 1943 and nobody gave a single solitary shit.
Post WW2 it gets worse. Two million people in Cambodia, 700,000 people in Indonesia, 550,000 in Rwanda, 500,000 in Angola, millions in China during the Cultural Revolution, 225,000 in Bosnia, 300,000 in Uganda, a million Bangladeshis in 1971.
The list goes on and on and on and the fraction that prompted any kind of forceful international response is pathetically small.

I’m curious: looking at your posting history, are you at least being paid to astroturf pro-CCP propaganda, or do you do it for free? Could you give us some insight into how it works?
I'm betting free, and that gives me hope there is actual fact finding going on even if we don't see the result. It may not just be trolling.

#17> The UK Foreign Office told the BBC it was "closely monitoring reports that members of the Uyghur diaspora in the UK have been harassed by the Chinese authorities", and that it had "raised our concerns directly with the Chinese embassy in London". I've always wondered, how is it not against the law to act on a foreign government's orders to harass citizens? We know that certain academics are getting arrested, but ma…

When you consider that until very recently, it was legal for NYPD officers to have sex with people in their custody, and indeed, in many places it is still legal for police to coerce sex from people in their custody, you'll realize that law is reactionary and until it becomes a problem that catches a politician's eye, it won't be illegal.
