You’re absolutely right and this comment has no business being grayed.

Indeed, this seems to have touched a nerve. Interesting that no one has tried to refute my point directly.

There are others in the thread who seem to be suggesting that because Han Chinese have also been subject to population control measures, that my point is somehow invalid.

No one has yet explained why we see such steep birth rate declines, specifically in Uyghur regions, relative to the rest of China, only in the last half decade or so.

You know, right around the time they started rounding up millions of people in that same ethnic group and putting them in camps. The Chinese government has many euphemisms and rationalizations for these camps, but they don't dispute their existence. In any case we have satellite imagery.

What can one conclude about these coinciding actions by the Chinese state if not genocide? If it's not that, what is it?
