    The Shandong drop is literally a 4.28% decrease, or are you trying to tell me that that final 1-2% difference between that and Xinjiang proves there is a genocide ocuring? You're just trying very very hard to eek out some sort of narrative from a bunch of generic data, which is of course exactly the kind of thing propagandists love doing because it's so easy and convincing on the surface. You could generate literally any narrative you want using this kind of data. You could create some kind of "Han genocide" narrative where Han Chinese people are being mass sterilized by their government if you wanted, and it would be more convincing than this Xinjiang stuff lol. Also notice how Beijing has a ~8% birthrate. Potentially Xinjiang's birthrate is also decreasing because people there are leaving poverty and thus having fewer kids.

        So you're telling me that genocide in Xinjiang rests on 32.6% versus 24.4% birthrate decline and that the difference cannot be explained by anything other than forced sterilization? This is literally just insanity. You're saying that there is nothing in the world that can change birthrate by that last 12% other than genocide? This is a good discussion because it shows that when you put narratives under a microscope, they are revealed as ridiculous. I mean at least you actually did some analysis. People like Adrian Zenz just forget a decimal place and suddenly there's a genocide. Does "statistical significance" now equate to genocide?
