Recently there has been denials on the left of reports of repression of the Uyghur people in Xinjiang Province in China. Here, Aaron Ruby, an avowed communist, who visited Xinjiang Province in 2007 replies to somebody who says they have no way of judging whether such reports are accurate. He describes his own experiences there, including discussions with a Uyghur guide.
"I find such statements breathtaking and utterly immoral. It is akin to stating there was no Holocaust because you “have no way of judging since anti-German propaganda is so pervasive and well financed.” "As a communist and revolutionary, I am naturally inclined to disbelieve the accusations of US imperialism and its ONG henchmen. I am also very aware that the US rulers are preparing the political terrain of public opinion for a turf war with capitalist China. However, the crimes against the Uyghur are an indisputable fact."
