I agree that implying no mass death = no genocide is wrong, but it's important to note that various sinophobic narratives around the treatment of Uyghurs (which I assume you're referencing) are baiting in that direction already, pointing to birth rates and contraceptives as evidence of genocidal policies.
There's a tendency for AES-bashers to retreat to a lesser accusation multiple times. Genocide, cultural genocide, human rights abuses, repression, etc. Just retreat to the next accusation every time contrary evidence is presented.
