Having a metropolis is not exempt from being under oppression.

Would you show pictures of skyscrapers in the middle east to compare its human rights?

Most Marxist-Leninists are skeptical of the Uyghur genocide narrative because the scant evidence we're given comes from spurious sources like Adrian Zenz and an Australian weapons makers think tank called the ASPI. We're also well-versed in the American empire's history of hurling manufactured atrocity propaganda at its geopolitical rivals.

Ignore the photographs of Xinjiang and Gaza. Just look at the maps to the left. They show that the only countries against China on the Uyghur issue are the exact same colonizing countries which are trying to subjugate the Global South on every other issue. We think this isn't a coincidence.

Because the people living in the many apartment towers in the top image aren't being targeted in a literal Final Solution supported by the exact same powers that cry crocodile tears over made-up claims of "genocide in Xinjiang".

Also the Uyghurs living in Xinjiang are Chinese citizens, meaning the accusation of colonisation falls flat on its face.
