It's, um, pretty well known at this point that China has been imprisoning and enslaving and brainwashing millions of ethnic Uyghurs for a very long time, but CNN wants you to know that the Chinese Communist Party is, like, totally denying it, ya'll:

As writer Nury Turkel points out:

According to the US Department of Defense, China has detained possibly as many as 3 million Uyghurs in detention camps. Meanwhile, based on satellite imagery, CNN reports China has been destroying traditional Uyghur cemeteries. And, according to the accounts of several Uyghur women, it is incorporating an extensive forced sterilization program.

At the end of this article, the editors at CNN declare:

Editor's Note: The Chinese government has repeatedly denied any allegations of crimes -- including forced labor and forced sterilization -- against the Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples. It claims it is providing the Uyghurs with education at "vocational training centers" while assisting in deradicalization efforts to combat alleged terrorism.

Ahh okay got it: So firsthand eyewitness accounts, high-ranking intelligence reports, and satellite-verified imagery on the one hand, and...the Chinese Communist Party's self-serving propaganda denial on the other hand. And we are supposed to give the latter...any credence at all?

Thanks for running interference for a bunch of genocidal communists, CNN!
