Im sorry, but fuck blinken and his war mongering cohorts.
Why should we take anything they say as even a morsel of truth, why should we even listen to them, when they refuse to even acknowledge israel’s genocide against Palestinians. They’re actively funding genocide and now want to cry crocodile tears about anything relating to China
As always
It’s only genocide when the competition does it.
sigh
You know what has a stronger record of plummeting fertility rates than government intervention? That’s right, education and societal factors. Education attainment skyrocketed, national fertility dropped, and people are surprised that the net result is that Xinjiang’s fertility dropped faster than the national average?
Meanwhile, relative to the fertility rate of Hans, that of Uyghurs in Xinjiang (and other ethnic minorities elsewhere) increased: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action_in_China
The Chinese government officially allowed minority parents to have more than one child per family instead of the one demanded for Han people as part of the (former) one-child policy.
The hypocrisy in his statement is incredible.
Whoa this administration caring about genocide is legit

The history of the Middle East since 1948 shows Israel constantly striving for peace, only to be rebuffed time and again by the Arabs.
– Antony J. Blinken, “Lebanon and the Facts”, 1982
Israel is not, has never been, nor will ever be the irreproachable, perfectly moral state some of its supporters would like to see. Israelis are, after all, only human. Still, one pedestal the Jewish state can stand on–and stand on alone in the Middle East–is that of a democracy. Yes, there are tragic excesses in the occupied territories. True, the invasion of Lebanon claimed many innocent lives. The fact remains, though, that Israelis question themselves and their government openly and honestly. Eventually, as in other democracies, those responsible for wrongdoing are held accountable.
– Antony J. Blinken, “Israel’s Saving Grace”, 1982
The summer of 1982 may be remembered in history as the time Israel passed from adolescence to adulthood. The illusions of a child are left behind. But the Jewish state remains special, an oasis in a desert. Its citizens have built a working democracy from scratch in a region that has no others. Israelis must treasure that democracy, protect it with all their will. For if they don’t, the growing pains that are Lebanon, Shatila and Sabra, the repression of Arabs and the feud between Ashkenazim and Sephardim could turn into a plague.
– Antony J. Blinken, “The Danger Within”, 1983
Step 1: Support terrorism in China to provoke the government into an extreme military response that can be leaped on to delegitimize the PRC and their commitment to peace, as was done with the USSR and Mujahideen in Afghanistan
Step 2: When China doesn’t bomb anyone and handles the situation through education, claim they’re committing genocide anyways
