    Yeah? Got any primary sources that aren’t a decade old?

      I have not stake in this, but here you go: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/china-uyghur-uighur-turkey-oppression-rcna97238. I took one at random that was semi-recent and look somewhat relevant.

      Just look at the date of the references on Wikipedia and you will find plenty.

              Please educate me.

              A primary source is a source with first hand information (e.g. a witness) or a source that does not cite other sources as their source. Disregarding the credability of NBC, how does the article I linked not fit that description?

                I really hope you’re trolling. The NBC article literally cites other sources.

                this article explains it: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/04/world/asia/north-korea-waitresses-defector.html?referringSource=articleShare

                tldr: they’re paid and/or coerced to it by recruiters to make up shit.

        This shit is so tiring.

        NBC is pretty shit that almost every hyperlink is to another nbc news but one of those hyperlinks go to Safeguard Defenders and other go to Amnesty International and both direct to a report made by OHCHR which just cite Adrian Zenz and his propaganda made by Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

        Holy shit is just impossible to find a source that doesn’t have bullshit propaganda. For any lib reading this, if a news source is citing a propaganda piece they are not writing news, they are writing propaganda.

          I just took one at random and read the first few lines to make sure it was actually on topic. I have no clue about NBC News credability, I only wanted to illustrate that there were a lot of resources linked in the Wikipedia article, since BrainInABox asked for them.

            that there were a lot of resources linked in the Wikipedia article.

            Yeah and all of them go back to Adrian Zenz.

            You talking about a fucking genocide “reading a few lines” is insulting.

              Just so we are on the same page here, which genocide are you referring to?

            I asked for a fucking primary source and you instead give me an NBC article you “skimmed the first few lines” of.

            My fucking God, you people are beyond parody.
