The fact that none of this is internally oriented would imply that it is not a purity spiral at all, but rather more an intentional eradication of culture, history, and identity in a cleansing campaign just like the mental component of all ethnic cleansing that we also see all over the rest of the world.
If one thinks that it is awful that the Uyghurs are subject to "[The Chinese government] wants to erase Uighur culture and identity by remaking its women"[1] and "By targeting women, China is attempting to dilute the Uighur population and destroy its culture."[1], then one really needs to look around and ask oneself some hard questions about what is going on in all of the west, but especially in the USA as this article illustrates.
Are western/European women not being targeted "to erase western culture and identity by remaking its women"? Or "by targeting women, [someone] is attempting to dilute the Amerian/European population and destroy its culture."??? I don't know. Maybe I am wrong and someone can make an argument for why I am wrong. It sure seems like it though when you are not biased against the west and look at things objectively without hate.
I can't see how any of what is happening in the west would be acceptable if, e.g,. the labels of the actors were simply anonymized, i.e., "Actor A has moved to remove all cultural reference of Actor B's ancestors, heroes, and historical figures as a matter of systemic policy and against the will of Actor B"
