What China is doing to Uighurs is the most f***d thing since the H*l*caust

Yeah, it's pretty messed up, and the CCP has been headed in a tyrannical direction for years. But if you're going to compare quantitative damage (as EJMR likes to do), one kind of has to reflect on our own misdeeds (Saudi Arabia, Pinochet, the Iraq War, etc.). Should we sticky these as well?

Protip for all the irate Chinabros ITT: anti-China nutters don't buy the "tu quoque" whatabout argument when it's used against them. Because the Soviets overused it during the Cold War, the argument is strongly associated with Soviet (and by extension, Communist) propaganda. So anti-China nutters can spot whatabout from a mile away.

Of course, this doesn't stop anti-China nutters from using whatabout for other things. I'm just saying that they will never accept it when it's used against them.

It's also disrespectful to both the Jewish community and those who suffered in the numerous atrocities since WW2. Of course, the CCP is a dictatorship that has only been getting worse since Xi, but it displays a bit of ignorance and prejudice to be posting everything you can grab from a Google search on Uighur suppression at the top of an economics job forum. I understand you want to air out your gripes against China at the most opportune time, but it trivializes everything else that has happened in the last 100 years, much of which you probably don't know or recall.
