"The latter pertains in particular to a range of documents that form part of the so-called “China Cables”, the “Xinjiang Papers”, the “Karakax List”, the “Urumqi Police database” and, most recently, the “Xinjiang Police Files”, which in whole or in part have been made public by various media outlets and researchers or have been made available to OHCHR. For a number of these documents, OHCHR was able to take steps to verify their authenticity, resulting in assessment that they are highly likely to be authentic and therefore could be credibly relied upon in support of other information. For others, such verification was not possible, even if OHCHR has no counter-indication that these documents would be inauthentic. OHCHR has not relied on any of these documents as a sole source to make any findings. In this assessment, reference to such documents is included where its content comports with that from other sources of information." (Footnote 8).

So.... we couldn't corroborate it but we'll use it as evidence anyway.

No matter what happens now comrades we can expect anti communist sentiment to increase along with anti Asian hate. So - especially if you also happen to be an Asian communist in a western country - it might be a good idea to keep our heads low for a while until the libs go back to slobbering over the US and their sweetheart zelenky again.

It is manufactured consent failing spectacularly. The US gas been gearing up for war, but China has just refused to engage. So you end up with the comucal situation of the US trying to provoke China and China itself not giving a fuck. As so preparations towards war continues in the absence of war itself. This includes endless China bad/failing stories as part of manufactured consent.

I get your point, but I also feel like that is false equivalency. Puerto Rico is illegally occupied by a colonial US and wants independent. Taiwan is legally claimed by China in a way that is internationally recognised under the UN Resolution 2758, and both Taiwan and China claim to be the only China as per the One-China agreement signed by Mao and Chiang Kai Shek which, contrary to the Western narrative, was bilateral. Taiwan does not claim independence, it claims to be China. Taiwan, under the same UN resolution, is an illegal state. A PRC/CPC delegation visit to Puerto Rico would be ligitimate and only a minor offence - if it is an offence at all to support and oppressed people - in the eyes of international law and morality. The US's current war mongering is one of the most flagrant breaches of international law and human decency since the second Iraq War. Which, coincidentally, was also America-led.
