Maybe if they allowed independent investigations, people would believe it.

One, independent investigations have taken place in China over the Xinjiang thing which is what you're probably thinking of. The World Bank went in and investigated, Pakistan did too, the EU didn't though because they refused.

Two, it wouldn't (and didn't) change a damn thing. The WHO visited China and investigated the COVID pandemic and all they got for their effort is the US accusing them of being a Chinese shill.

Meanwhile, the Pulitzer prize winning "investigation" that Buzzfeed did of Xinjiang alleging genocide (no evidence AFAIK they they ever actually set foot in the Xinjiang province tho) was debunked by someone on Reddit.
