The difficulty is that we need to have different terms for different levels of atrocities. Forced sterilization of an ethnic group is an atrocity. Mass murder of an ethnic group is also an atrocity. But they're on different levels. Both of these are crimes against humanity. Both are deplorable. But they're not equally deplorable. Both are bad, but they're not equally bad. Clearly, mass murder is worse than mass sterilization. It's a crime that should be treated differently, just as we treat rape and murder differently. If we call what the Chinese Communist Party is doing to the Uyghurs a genocide, then we should come up for another word to describe what the Nazis did to the Jews. Or, heaven forbid, if they really do start murdering Uyghur families in mass.
