It's really frustrating, I was talking to someone about how successful China has been in de-radicalization of reactionaries. But they responded to this by saying they're only successful because, and I quote "put them all in concentration camps and killed them"

Has anyone here been successful in deprogramming people about this topic? If so any good sources I can use to dissuade them? I tried telling them that the UN report, if you read it, just says that there's concerns about abuse by internment offcials, and there's no evidence of genocide. But when I say this they just dismiss it as if the UN is controlled by the PRC. It's like a religion to liberals to believe anything bad about China and can get really frustrating.

    forcibly converting people in education camps

    They teach the locals mandarin, the national language of China

    by indoctrinating their children.

    They put children in schools free of charge even if their parents disagree, that's just state mandated compulsory education.

    Suddenly you become a discount ISIS Islamic primitivist when speaking about Muslims in a historically underdeveloped region of China but I doubt you would hold the same traditionalism for muslim refugees coming to the West after being displaced by said imperial core.
