You don't have to trust me, you can check the sources I linked, which includes the UN report itself. The overwhelming majority of "independent agencies" talking about genocide in Xinjiang are glorified western think-tanks, linking back in some way to Adrian Zenz. Amnesty in particular was incredibly useful for the George W. Bush when they were one of the biggest reporters on the Nayirah Testemony and released a report about Iraqi soldiers taking babies out of incubators. This is one of the most well-known atrocity propaganda incidents in history, and was crucial for gathering consent to kill 1 million Iraqis:
Amnesty International is no stranger for taking flimsy evidence to support imperialist narratives.
You would be saying this while they were lying to justify the Gulf War, and you would be just as wrong then as you are now. Try actually engaging with the evidence being presented instead of plugging your ears and throwing a tantrum.
I don't see what Marx has to do with Amnesty International's history of supporting western atrocity propaganda to manufacture consent for war, but I have read a good bit of Marx and believe I understand him pretty well.
Literally what you are doing right now to justify starting a war in Ba Sing Se
Desperate nonsequituer, smug dismissal
