> genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
> (a) Killing members of the group;
> (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
> (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
> (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
> (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Was CCP trying to destroy Han via the One-Child Policy? No.
Was CCP trying to destroy Uighurs via (b)(d)(e)? Arguably yes.

- dirtyid 6y ago(b)(d)(e) applied to and still does to Han as well, there's no distinction in terms of family planning. Hence no intent to destroy. The distinction is the greater XJ security architecture, in which case it's comparable to prison industrial complex that disproportionately target minorities, which again, has been likened to cultural genocide. If the CCP wanted to destroy Uyghurs, they'd destroy them, not setup elaborate sinication program.
