      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Zenz#Criticism

      Zenz is a lapsed Catholic-turned-born-again Christian, and he has stated that he feels “led by God” in his research on Chinese Muslims and other minority groups. He co-authored a book in 2012 with his father-in-law, Marlon L. Sias, titled Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation.

      https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Adrian_Zenz

      Adrian Zenz has many ties to imperialist organisations, notably being employed as a “senior fellow” by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation

      In his 2012 book Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation,[3] which he co-authored, Zenz wrote some of the following quotes:

      "Through notions of gender equality...the enemy is undermining God’s unique but different role assignments for men and women"
      "Another important God-given authority structure that Satan is attacking through the postmodern spirit is that of gender authority structures"
      "It is very likely that the global persecution of true believers will center on the charge that they promote ‘intolerant views,’ especially related to preaching against homosexuality”
      “The Antichrist is dependent on the harlot, because he must seize upon humanity's desperate craving for all that the harlot offers in order to achieve world domination. The world will worship him because he will promise them all these things, promoting sexual ‘freedom’ (the unrestrained and godless practice of all sexual behaviors, including homosexuality), control over their affairs (independence from God), and he will vow to maintain people's standard of living”
      "... anti-discrimination laws put in place throughout the European Union ... forbid employers to discriminate based on gender or sexual orientation. That way, it becomes illegal for churches or Christian organizations to refuse to hire homosexuals into important positions"
      “Hate crime and anti-discrimination laws will likely play a major role in the suppression of biblical Christianity”
      “Rising numbers of countries are banning all forms of physical punishment of children, the primary scriptural method for instilling respect for authority in the young generation and protecting them from rebellious tendencies… But true scriptural spanking is loving discipline and not violence, and neglecting the wisdom of God makes the church increasingly vulnerable to the schemes of the enemy”
      

      Notably, he claims that “God’s refining process will wipe out all unbelieving Jews” which raises questions as to probable anti-Semitic views.

      his initial assertion that up to 1.5 million Uyghurs were interned in “concentration camps” came from an Uyghur separatist group who interviewed 8 people, asking them how many people from their village they thought were in such centres, and averaging the results to the whole population of Xinjiang. This is presented as and unquestionable fact by Zenz.

      https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Xinjiang_Uygur_Autonomous_Region

      Today in the Xinjiang there are 12.7 million Uyghurs, and 9 million Han, and 3.1 million people in other ethnic groups, or 51%, 36%, and 13% respectively.[8] The population has doubled since 1978, and the Uyghur population increased by more than 5.6 million in the same time period.[2]

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang#Demographics

      In 2010, the population of Xinjiang was 45.84 percent Uyghur and 40.48 percent Han. The 2020 Census showed the share of the Uyghur population decline slightly to 44.96 percent, and the Han population rise to 42.24 percent

      Uyghurs have also emigrated to other parts of China, where their numbers have increased steadily. Uyghur independence activists express concern over the Han population changing the Uyghur character of the region though the Han and Hui Chinese mostly live in Northern Xinjiang Dzungaria and are separated from areas of historic Uyghur dominance south of the Tian Shan mountains (Southwestern Xinjiang), where Uyghurs account for about 90 percent of the population.

        So we have the CCP saying they aren’t and the Uyghurs saying they are and showing it.

            It always entertains me to see the pretend care tankies have for genocide when using Isreal/Palestine as a wedge issue because as soon as you get a glimpse behind the mask they fully support genocide and even imperialism.

            I think you know that you’re carrying the CCP genocide denial talking points. I think you know they arent true but you repeat them just to muddy the water because thats effective.

            If anyone reading unironically thinks this is all made up by a single german guy go read the UN reports and Human rights watch reports going over the thousands of testimonies, investigations by journalists, governments, independent bodies. It is truly horrible stuff. Over a million unfairly detained and kept in tiny cells, tortured, raped, women and kids sold, people being used as experiments for drugs, people dying from the amount of abuse. The only thing the reports didnt conclude was systematic killings because instead they are sterilizing and imprisoning them which is not a loophole to avoid genocide.

              Funny how you pretend to care about the USA and Israel committing war crimes nonstop. But the brave USA and NATO surely do care so much about the persecuted Muslims in China for some strange reason. It’s almost like paying some Christian nutter to “write reports” about the “cultural genocide” is maybe not on the up and up perhaps. And almost every news article or UN/HRW report is sourcing their data from this right-wing fascist pushing an agenda because he has to uphold the white man’s burden of caring for the Muslims in evil Chyna.

              After Palestinian ambassador to China Fariz Mehdawi [ar] visited Xinjiang in March 2021, he remarked on Chinese state media that he was impressed by the region’s infrastructure and upkeep of mosques,[166] saying “if you have to calculate it all, it’s something like 2,000 inhabitants for one mosque. This ratio, we don’t have it in our country. It’s not available anywhere.”[167]

                This right-wing fascist pushing an agenda sources 95% of his data from publicly available chinese sources and has all his findings published and peer reviewed. Its all open which is why the claims can be verified by experts from all over the world. But its not like he is the only source anymore its not 2016 we can take him out of the mix and still have enough evidence to conclude that genocide and crimes against humanity are being committed by the Chinese State. There is ample witness testimony and 1st hand accounts as well as government investigations to go off.

                Also those links are a complete joke not only do they do absolutely nothing to support your point and its laughable that you would even try and use them as if I would just accept them without reading. Did you expect me to say “Oh I guess its not a genocide because China has some mosques and a Palestinian guy was impressed by them”. The funniest part of that claim is doing a follow up and seeing reports that 65% of them have now been destroyed by the government. I wonder why that is.

                  the figure also includes an additional estimate of 383,000 Uyghur children sent to boarding schools from 2017 to 2019, as calculated by Adrian Zenz [a scholar and Senior Fellow and Director in China studies at the US-based Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation[footnote 40]]

                  LMAO 13 matches for Zenz. It’s like you don’t even read what you are posting.

                    That doesnt disprove anything. He is a researcher on the issue. Youve yet to disprove anything and just commented that his name is credited for some.of the sources.

                    The only evidence you can cite is the CCP counter report but even you know how much of a joke that is.
