But the Irish remained the top ethnicity in Ireland and their population increased fast for most of that period, so I have no clue what the IRA were going on about.
Can we go there and freely discuss the situation with residents, without minders nearby?
Can they freely practice their relgion? Can they leave? Can they choose not to have regime loyalists stay in their homes? (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/11/30/uninvited-guests-k...)
Escapees report differently, & fear retaliation against their remaining family: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2021/04/uy...
Wire me $1000 and I'll produce video testimony of an Asian-looking person alleging literally any atrocity you want by China/Russia/Iran.
Unverifiable testimony not made under oath and grainy Google Earth screenshots are simply not reliable evidence in the current year.
As for actual evidence, PRC publishes their census data online for everyone to see. If you don't believe that, you can look up "Ürümqi street" on YouTube and get a ballpark figure for how many Turkic people and cultures are represented there. If you still think there is Holocaust 2.0 going on in Xinjiang, you are ideologically poisoned beyond reason.
Why is your first thought creating hoaxes for pay rather than collecting honest testimony?
Why is your go-to source “PRC census data” rather than any evidence of actual freedoms to live without minders, travel, speak, practice religion?
CCP policy and behaviour towards Xinjiang shows a clear intent to eradicate Uighur culture, possibly the Uighur people, on the part of the CCP state. Simlilarly for Hong Kong, Tibet. A warcrime by an Australian soldier is being dealt with as a matter of military discipline.
There is no equivalency between the two. Pretending that a crime is equivalent to state genocide is classic "wolf warrior" trolling.
A better equivalency would be between what's happening with the Uighurs and what happened to Australia's first nation people in the nineteenth century. Modern China does have more than a little in common with those old European colonial empires.
