A free market doesn’t prevent genocide. A state where free speech and dissent is violently oppressed is always ripe for genocidal events.
There is no real legal system to contest illegal detention and state sanctioned murder in China. It is not a country ruled by law.
I’m not saying democracy is some cure all, but the worst and largest genocides by far take place under totalitarian regimes.
Just because China kind of sort of has a free market that doesn’t absolve it of the human rights abuses that are rampant in the country.
Read about what Mao did. Xi could do the same and no one would be able to stop him.
