    How is this evidence of genocide? This is evidence for the existence of correction camps (which you can obviously criticise) during a very concrete period of time in Xinjiang over the span of a few years, not evidence of genocide

        Have you read the picture which makes this post? It literally revolves around the word “genocide”. Who’s moving the goalposts here by saying “well maybe it’s not a genocide but there’s been some extent of police state during a counter-terrorism campaign”?

      genocide, by definition, includes the erasure of a cultural group.

      these camps are purpose built to erase a specific culture through “re-education”. that is genocide.

        these camps are purpose built to erase a specific culture through “re-education”

        Then why did the camps close after the few years it took for the counter-terrorism campaign to work? Why does Xinjiang have a regional government, with its chairman being an Uyghur man called Erkin Tuniyaz? Why are there above 100 Islamic associations in Xinjiang with imams teaching theology and Arabic?
