The torch lighting at the Beijing 2022 winter olympics was more like gaslighting, as the Chinese govt. put a Uyghur athlete front and center. As @mehdirhasan explains, China might think they can play by their own rules, but we need to prove them wrong. WATCH:

Both Pakistani journalist and Indonesian have gone to investigate. Actually Indonesia sent several investigation teams to Xinjiang. They found nothing of issue. Their report is buried so deep in Google it cant be found. Here is pak report dailytimes.com.pk/723317/exp…

US/UK killed on average 100 + civilians per US/UK death. These drone "mistakes" continued over 20 years. 100:1 was imperial policy in Africa Asia. It was also copied by Nazis. 3m Iraqi Afghan civilian is real genocide in the full nazi sense US/UK need to pay war reparations.

I’ve disagreed on a lot with your takes Mehdi but on this, thank you for fearlessly speaking up. You seem to be the lone Muslim voice on the progressive left taking such a strong position on this.

Did German Nazis ever parade German Jewish athletes to score brownie points? Would ISIS parade a Shia athlete? Do you even know what Genocide means? All this proves that the allegations against China are mere propaganda.

Your playing the American game! What about the Eesy’s indifference to Muslims everywhere and the Palestinians apart from the Uighurs?

yet you agreed with an article calling Jack Posobiec a neo-Nazi. If you had actually read the oped he wrote you would have seen where he actually called out the concentration camps the Chinese government runs, but yeah agree with the liars at SPLC regardless

No surprise China govt sticking their thumb in international community eye. CCP always does. Ignoring global backlash Standard Operating Procedure for CCP. China most irresponsible member of int'l community, yet #XiJinping seeks "a shared community for mankind". Not with #China

Mr Hassan, Xi Jinping is not President of China. Xi's comrades call him General Secretary or Chairman. A President of a country gets elected by the People in multiparty elections. China's people prevented from Voting for who they want to be governed by. STOP calling Xi President.
