Tankie humor.
35000+ dead civilians is a joke to you?
that's not what your meme is about. Your meme is utilizing Palestinian deaths to make some tankie point about China great because West bad. Which is deeply disrespectful to the 35,000.
Calling out how the West wants to call one thing a genocide that is clearly not, while also saying something is definitely not a genocide when it clearly is, that's called pointing out hypocrisy.
The world can see it. That's why there is so much green on the 2nd map.
What is happening to the Uyghurs is considered a genocide because China is moving in Han Chinese into the region, suppressing the religion, political indoctrination, forced sterilization, forced contraception, and forced abortion. No, they are not being bombed but they are being wiped out a different way.
That is what we are told by our government & think tanks & corporate media. It’s a load of doo-doo.
The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing terrorist cells in Xinjiang, and once those efforts failed, it concocted and promoted a genocide narrative. Antony Blinken is still pushing this slop, just last month.

The blueprint of regime change operations
As part of China’s affirmative action policies, the Uyghurs and other ethic minorities were excepted from the One-Child policy, and in Xinjiang they have grown in numbers relative to Hans as a result, and this happened similarly with other ethnic minorities in China.

Are you Adrian Zenz or just a 'state dept leftist'?
Not a fan of him because he's anti-communist but a critic of him still said China is running "internment camps in Xinjiang as part of the "preventive measures against extremism"".
Further info from Wikipedia:
He doesn't sound like someone I would want to be around but that doesn't mean he is wrong.
Okay fair point, there's definitely hypocrisy (although from my information there is definitely some ethnic cleansing going on in xinjiang). Got a different vibe from the meme initially though
There is not ethnic cleansing going on, as I expounded on upthread.
okay well Western media isn't talking about it. I exclusively hear about this on lemmy from folks simping for China.
Fuck all empires, fuck the US, fuck China, fuck Russia. All have shitty to broken democracies and way too much centralized power.
What's the point of constantly defending China? If it was just a one time thing that's fine, but it happens nonstop around these parts.
No need to simp for China to be a communist
Of course Western media aren’t talking about it: it’s their job not to. They’re the ones pushing the “Uyghur genocide” narrative in the first place. Western media are the media of the capitalist class of the imperial core. The cold war(s)[1][2] and red scare(s)[1][2][3][4] never ended.
.
Your understanding of China is received wisdom from the imperial core’s governments, think tanks, and corporate media, so your criticisms of it are not reality-based. It’s fine to criticize anything & anyone—China included—but you must not talk nonsense.
Also, all this “simping” framing is tiresome. Historical materialists don’t subscribe to great man theory. We’re not known for simping, liberals are.
