The word 'genocide' is a little tricky, it kind of implies death-camps, at least in the popular imagination, I mean, the first basis of comparison I think for most of us is the Nazi Holocaust.
A note below talked about the DoJ's concerns about 'proving genocide' etc. - it's besides the point.
If they are putting 1M people in jail due to their ethnicity and doing this crazy psychological programming, it's bad enough, the 'forced sterilization' and 'removal of children' is a very serious thing as well, but that doesn't need to happen for this to be 'very very bad'.
We might need to use a different word to describe this, that fits a little more directly to what is happening.
If China was not powerful, there would be trade sanctions, if not embargoes, which is something to consider.
The issue needs to be addressed, it steps beyond the CCP's usual arguments of 'internal problems are not your business'.
