No, but this type of rhetoric goes hand in hand with Chinese nationalism and I frankly detest nationalism in any form. It spurs non-constructive, bad-faith discourse and in more extreme cases leads to literal genocide. Nazi Germany, present-day Israel, the Xinjiang province... The list goes on and on.
Didn't you get the memo that it's now a "cultural genocide" in Xinjiang because the feds who constructed the worldview you are spoonfed realized a narrative of "literal genocide" was rhetorically unable to cope with the lack of evidence?
There are firsthand accounts of human rights abuses taking place against the Uyghur people on Xinjiang. The Chinese fucking government reported a 60% decline in birthrates in certain Uyghur-majority regions in the province between 2015 and 2018. If that doesn't scream forced sterilization then I don't know what does.
Also, cultural genocide is still genocide definitionally.
Oh now we're all the way down to human rights abuses? One comment ago it was genocide...
Show me the pictures dude. The genocide’s been going on for decades and western tourists have been free to visit Xinjiang during that period, so it should be easy to find Gaza-style devastation there, right?
Not according to the Western diplomats who argued against cultural genocide being included in the UN Genocide Convention but... Go off?
There are first hand accounts of human rights abuses taking place against Chinese people in the USA, I guess America is genociding the Chinese.
Imagine trying to make this argument in a serious court.
