I think everything is very intertwined when it comes to China.

It's true that on some level blocking Wikimedia from a global organization isn't directly about genocide - it's about Wikimedia not being a centralized entity kissing the ring the way the China wants it to. But on another level that is really about the fact that articles like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide exist, and that they're guided by an aspiration to encyclopedic documentation and not Xi Jinping Thought (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping_Thought). Because China would like Xi Jinping Thought exported globally.

I would agree with that, but I maintain that the criticisms in the comments section were of varying degrees of quality. IMO, the best and most useful ones are those that are carefully scoped and precisely defined. Some comments have these attributes, but not all.
