You’re saying that like Russia and China don’t have slave labor camps and haven’t been bombing Africans and Muslims for decades.

Where on earth are you getting this?? China hasn't been involved in an external conflict since the 60s!

Admittedly China hasn't militarily invaded another country since it's invasion of Vietnam in 79. Though the Uyghur genocide doesn't strike me as a lot more benevolent than the ongoing wars in Africa and Middle East.

The majority of the world (notably the vast majority of Muslim countries, who would be burdened with a refugee crisis if there were an actual genocide) doesn't think China is killing Uyghurs. Only the imperial core countries, that have been bombing Muslims for decades think that:

Here's the people telling you that China is killing Muslims:

In 2016 alone, the US under Obama dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa (3 bombs every hour), up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia. He authorized 10 times more drone strikes than George W Bush. 1

There's no way it's possible that both the US and China are bad right? It has to just been one. Only logical.
