It varies. They might only say there’s a tacit cultural genocide, where somehow Islam is illegal in China or that the Uyghur language is banned. Or they might say it’s a holocaust level genocide with forced sterilization and work camps.
It’s completely absurd and defies reason. You can look at pictures of the genocide in Yemen and its effects. There’s nothing similar to what’s being proposed in Xinjiang. People who live in Xinjiang are on average much wealthier/secure than those in Yemen and Gaza, and yet there’s apparently been no ill effects over the rest of China. No columns of refugees, no known mass graves, no known resistance organizations. Nothing. The accusation is that China is somehow perpetrating a genocide with none of the normal effects, no detectable decrease in population, and no destabilization.
Like I can’t put into words how preposterous this is. China is supposedly carrying out a genocide in a place that has hundreds of thousands of times the area of Gaza, against 12 million people. And yet any minor glance at Gaza reveals they’re suffering a genocide. China is supposedly carrying out a genocide far more massive than what Israel is doing? How is that possible for China to hide a genocide against 12 million when Israel can’t hide a genocide against 590,000?

uighers were literally exempt from the one child policy, along with other ethnic minorities, but china is still somehow Doing a Genocide lol
There’s also an implicit antisemitism. They don’t give a shit about Gaza, but they do want to evoke the holocaust. The problem is they don’t take the holocaust seriously either, or else they would notice that Europe is littered with mass graves and other genocide artifacts, and there’s huge refugee descended diaspora populations. How is China hiding all of this so much better than the nazis?
Is this a popular narrative right now? There’s a completely undetectable genocide definitely happening in Xinjiang?
