Did you even read the table of contents? Did you read the part about the unnatural birth rates? Did you read about the complete lack of consistency that "Terrorism" and Extremism" laws have? Did you read about the surveillance state that exists there? The suppression of Uighur culture? The forced disappearances? You're comparing two things with a magnitude of difference. I can talk about American issues of systemic racism all day, but calling the two equal is exactly as you put it whitewashing the crimes of China by projecting them on to America. The destruction of the American Indian lands happened in the past, but the destruction of Xinjiang and Tibet is happening today. We can do something about it
What the fuck is “Tibet is happening today” even supposed to mean? Tibet is a place and it’s a way better place to live now than it was in 1950, when it was ruled by a slave driving religious monarchy. Tibetan Buddhists are moving to live in Chinese Tibet because it’s a much better place to live than India.
