Or maybe it's just a Japanese-internment level atrocity.

  It’s never a good sign to need to split hairs over which caliber atrocity is being committed. That being said, separating children from families is genocide according to the Rome statute, so this pretty high up on the list.

    I don't mean to minimize any atrocity. But it is interesting to note that some of the strongest opponents of Chinese behavior have done similar things in the past, and perhaps even through the current day.

  This is utterly unhelpful whataboutism. The japanese internment is not ongoing, is broadly recognized as an atrocity, and has been formally apologized for by the governments involved. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Liberties_Act_of_1988 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Liberties_Act_of_1988 - https://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/1988-government-apologizes-to-japanese-canadians https://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/1988-government-apologizes...
