      The whole thing is bullshit. The famine was sixty years and like four major government upheavals ago. Tianmenen square is the most overhyped government repression in history, and it’s never mentioned that many of the casualties were unarmed PLA soldiers burned alive, and the insurgents that attacked them when armed PLA units were able to respond. And of course while there were human rights violations in Xinjiang, they are absolutely not the human rights violations people think they were, and the whole thing was part of a campaign to suppress insurgent groups and needs to be compared to the West’s “bomb weddings and ambulances” strategy, to say nothing of the genocidal campaign in Yemen that recently concluded. It’s all ignorance, totally unselfconscious indoctrination, and general bs.
