to be fair here is the Chinese side of the story
it's going to be interesting in the next years how U.S & China point the figure at each other at the UN. Unlike other sanctioned countries, China actually cares about its image overseas because China has a need for global trade.
@marneil
every country cares about its image. they just don't have enough resources to resist western media.
I appreciate the link you gave before. the world narrative can change easily with Uyghur bloggers. All China has to do was a pick-up camera & show the world facts from fiction.
@marneil
By following @CNN , we find how they make fake news about Xinjiang - YouTube
CGTN's exclusive interview with reportedly missing Uygur - YouTube
China refutes BBC report on women's rights abuses in Xinjiang - YouTube
Why is BBC making fake news against China - YouTube
Refutations of their media is every where, every day. Spend some time on CGTN, New China TV, etc. The western media makes an industry out of sensationalism and slander. China finally banned BBC after they refused to retract a proven false rape story. They're tabloids, they have some restraint in their own country, but they run wild against foreign countries they don't like. At the same time they banned and fined CGTN which never makes things up. China will have more laws that regulate them while they will provide more global services with its own media.
I saw a few Uyghur bloggers but it would be effective if thousands of Uyghur were seen in a social event like parades. The Western allies are going to take you guys to the international court soon regarding the human rights violation.
If you ask me my personal opinion on this, I would say that we are making the same mistake as the Iraqi war.
@marneil
take to court for what? the US soldiers kill people everywhere they're running from ICJ everyday.
I heard reports talk of taking China to ICJ over covid-19 and Uyghurs. It's not up to me, I am just saying the minds of politicians.
Taking China to the International Court of Justice over COVID-19 – EJIL: Talk!

the article is one year old. this comment is the best answer why it hasn't gone anywhere:

what about when china's birthrate declined in the 80's? self-genocide?
they have 2 or 3 children, media is just skirting around common sense
Firstly, the obligations under the IHR is an obligation of conduct, rather an obligation of result. Secondly, causality needs to be proven. In fact, the Chinese government has fulfilled its duty of due diligence. The Chinese government notified the World Health Organization in December and blocked Wuhan on January 24. At that time, the governments of other countries should have taken effective measures to avoid the spread of diseases in their own countries and reduce the risks the virus brought. A state does not need to pay for another country's faults. For a new virus, no country can predict its characteristics and infectious effects. In this case, the state has an obligation of conduct, not of consequence.
In addition, even there exists an obligation of result(I don't think it is reasonable), you need to prove that the occurrence of diseases in other places has a direct relationship with Wuhan. It is need to be proven that the place where the epidemic was first discovered is the origin of the epidemic? We know that AIDS is the first discovered in the United States, so should the United States be responsible for AIDS patients all over the world?
Finally, the international law is not a tool for seeking political aims and interests. You betray the spirits of the objectives of the international law, which seeks to preserve the peace of the world and the good of the human.
