They are probably noticing how light the narrative feels and trying to use the iron curtain narrative to handwave it. Like just on a gut level it doesn't make sense to say China is doing a holocaust, but somehow is producing less incriminating evidence than Abu Ghraib. Through this whole thing you have people freely traveling between China and hundreds of other countries including the US so how would censorship even work. It just feels absurd.
