As opposed to all those unbiased sources you've provided, lol.

I’m absolutely not going to provide sources or even argue with anyone from .ml on an .ml community because it’s pointless. You all do not care about proper sourcing and think it’s even a detractor because it’s “western”. I’m pointing out the problems with the sources for all the other people that are observing that comment and being swayed, because it’s a bunch of baloney.

You're conflating "proper sourcing" with being western, that's already an error, and second of all it's the west that has been most prominently pushing the genocide theory. Of course it's going to be contested by China. The validity of sources used by posts on YouTube and Medium aren't in question because of where they are hosted, they are often hosted on these kinds of platforms because opposing western narratives gets you blacklisted.

If that were true then non western sources would have plenty of news articles, yet all ml users post are things directly from Russia or China or “alternative” “sources” like medium (which isn’t a source). There are plenty of regimes that do not align with anything America has to say, yet no news articles from them.

Not really true. We post sources from all over, especially groups like Al Mayadeen that post in English. If we post something in spanish from Granma, for example, people can't read that.
