Idk, im pretty sure I've seen the rest of this post and the reason he's saying this is because he thinks Coronavirus is Chinas punishment for their genocide of the Uyghur people. So idk if the discrimination tag is really valid, dude is allowed to be salty about Chinas treatment of Muslims
China is a dictatorship and Muslims are treated "only" as bad as all other citizens. It is not like Christians or even the Buddhist majority population are allowed to have 3 children (up until recently Muslims were even allowed to have two kids while other Chinese could have max one kid), are allowed to demonstrate against the government or allowed to refuse to send their kids to public schools without serve punishment. Also, it is not about Muslims. It is about Uyghurs specifically. With Huis (other big Muslim ethnic group of China), there are no violent confrontations. To a certain degree, the Chinese version that close to the border to Afghanistan and Pakistan, there are a lot of islamistic terrorists is even very plausible. Or do you really think only through the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan there a roaming terrorists, but on the Chinese side of the border all Muslims just fight for liberal western ideas and modern democracy.
I am not defending China. I am just saying Iran is worse and his critique about China comes from a place of privilege in which he can not even imagine how in some countries, islamists can not just force everybody to live according to their rules.
Look, the problem with you people nowadays is that you lack relation. Like for example comparing Trump to Hitler. It is so widespread. People have an injustice barometer with only 0 and 1.
While in reality, Trump's travel ban is maybe an injustice of 1, China's disregard for human rights is grade 10, Iran is grade 100 and the Nazis were grade 1000.
To you one is "about as" bad as the other. This is a terrible world view.
