Metten also stressed the critical need for nations to hold China accountable for its ‘severe human rights violations’ during its fourth Universal Periodic Review, done by the UN Human Rights Council in January. Such as what’s happening in Tibet.

Several other nations seconded that opinion. Including Denmark, Finland and Sweden.

“The Chinese government’s ongoing policy of repression aims to eradicate the authentic and self-determined Tibetan culture. This policy must be stopped immediately,” Metten said.

    By definition, you’ve described a self-selecting sample.

    Nobody is questioning whether China is policing Xinjiang very heavily, but calling it a genocide implies that China is somehow targeting all Uyghurs and not just radical elements. Most people are fine and Uyghurs are still represented in government and at top educational institutions. Comparing it to Nazi Germany is both reductionist and downright inaccurate.

        Oh great, citing a Wikipedia article whose sources predominantly cite a single person. You can do better.

            So… You have no useful sources? Good argument, bravo.

            This is the problem with all the bullshit surrounding China. It’s all “we KNOW it MUST be happening because I was told it a bunch of times.”

              At least someof us here know China from own experience, have worked for Chinese companies, lived in the country.

              You, in contrast, are suffering from a major lack of experience. You’re just echoing mindless propaganda. In the end, you are creating an obstacle for your own personal development, thus hurting yourself. You could do yourself a favour by staying away from this bubble-producing communities. But that’s just on. Whether you do it or not, all others will be fine either way.

                Oh hey, are you describing me? I’ll admit I’ve mostly lived in tier 1/1.5 cities, so my experience isn’t exactly standard. I’ll also gladly admit that top Chinese companies have worse culture than top American ones in web development. Where are you from?
