    when it cites - again - a literal Nazi.

    “Again”? All you showed was a completely out-of-context tweet which expressly denounces Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime – literally comparing their actions to the CCP’s treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

    I don’t know if you just got that screenshot from some random Lemmygrad post or something and never bothered to plumb for the context, but in case you did: how do you square the fact that Adrian Zenz is comparing something he’s clearly made his life’s work to dismantle – China’s systemic persection of the Uyghurs – with the genocidal actions of the Nazi regime as his being a Nazi? I know when I call Donald Trump a neo-Nazi, that’s my way of expressing that I’m a card-carrying Nazi somehow.

    All you’ve shown is that the OHCHR report in one footnote out of hundreds cited Zenz who works for a right-wing think tank.
