I down voted an article claiming “AP confirms no Uyghur genocide”

I am reading your lines and calling out specifically that. There are no metaphorical windmills here, only the McCarthyism getting an iron grip on you, as Western propaganda shapes global public opinion funded by the Military Industrial Complex contractors that directly benefit from warmongering and weapon selling.

Edit: I find the downvote comical. I also find it very comical that all the "Chinese propaganda" accusers go back to hiding in their caves after dog whistling, and avoid fact based intellectual debating. Western boogeyman brainwashing psyops works really well on all of these ideal model citizens of Western dystopia.

You're missing the point. The misinformation was that the AP didn't make that claim. It was not about whether the claim was true or not.

And? There is no genocide going on. But if US funded extremists were allowed to have their way, a cultural and physical genocide will actually happen.
