Not if you compare current time periods. China is genociding Uighurs. There's no USA equivalent in this day and age. And this is not a propaganda piece. You are far away from reality if you think China and USA are morally equivalent in the current day and age.

A simple side note: Most people in China knows what happened at Tiananmen Square in 1989 although CCP has made much effort to conceal it. But almost none of them believes Uyghurs are under genociding. Instead, they believe Chinese government has been making effort in countering terrorism and keeping peace in Xinjiang for over 30 years.

  What do Chinese expats think? I can't provide strong statistics but anecdotally I've found the support of this policy is at least in the single digits among expats.

> China is genociding Uighurs. It's simply not true. You can repeat lies all you want, but doesn't make it true. You can't commit genocide against a people who's population is increasing and whose culture/language you are protecting. Go watch a simple travel vlog on xinjiang. > There's no USA equivalent in this day and age. The native hawaiians, native alaskans and native americans are currently underdoing actual genocide. Ugyhurs are majority in xinjiang. Hawaiians, native alaskasn and native americans are insignificant minorities in their own lands. > You are far away from reality if you think China and USA are morally equivalent in the current day and age. No. I say we are worse. Far worse. China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. We are ruining people's lives and causing conflict from venezuela to syria to taiwan to africa to ukraine. We are the ones occupying countries all over the world. Lets just put it this way. In 100 years, ugyhurs will still be around. Not sure about inuits in alaska, native hawaiians and native americans. Maybe china should liberate these people?

  > You can't commit genocide against a people who's population is increasing What?

    Genocide and population increase doesn't work together. The ughyur population has increased during the "genocide". How about this. When did the genocide start? How many ughyurs were genocided? What is the reason for the genocide? Try answering that and you'll see what nonsense the ugyhur "genocide" is.

      You can very obviously commit genocide against a country or people even while the overall population count increases. The definition of genocide does not require a net reduction in population. Genocide means to intentionally target a group of people, such as an ethnic group, and to kill a large number of those people. Whether the overall population of that group net goes up or down doesn't factor in at all.

        https://www.wordnik.com/words/genocide https://www.wordnik.com/words/genocide 1. noun The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group. 2. noun The systematic killing of a racial or cultural group. 3. noun The systematic killing of substantial numbers of people on the basis of ethnicity, religion, political opinion, social status, or other particularity. sui-cide, regi-cide, homi-cide, geno-cide... What do you think "geno" and "cide" means? > The definition of genocide does not require a net reduction in population. That's as absurd as saying sui-cide doesn't necessarily mean the end of your life. Genocide means extermination. Like what happened to the native americans in the US. What happened to jews in europe. What is not happening to uyghurs in china. What's funny is the chinese government didn't even massacre uyghurs. That's how laughably absurd the uyghur genocide claims are. Ugyhur genocide is literally a made up propaganda. It's so absurd, you can go on youtube and actually see uyghurs vlogging. Crazy for a genocide huh? There are actually uyghurs in the chinese government. Crazy for a genocide.
