No one in China is ever asked what they want or what they believe in because the CCP doesn't care. China is ruled by a military dictatorship, and under that form of government the people have 0 rights and 0 say in any government policy

Do you care about the Uyghur people China is currently trying to genocide?

Also The ban was for calling out Chinese racism against black people in Africa, so no, I don't care quite frankly

It's amazing how you people put on this fake act about caring about racism and bigotry, it's really astonishing

currently trying to genocide

This piqued my interest, since a lot of the Uyghur genocide narrative collapsed years ago to the point that even the journalists that were reporting it began walking it back.

Taking a look at who is currently reporting on "Uyghur genocide" in 2023, and it's all organisations like Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, United States Institute of Peace - basically (literal) US government propaganda agencies reporting on the US congress proceedings.
