I have a lot of very left-leaning friends (although most of them are still liberals, which I am not of course pls believe me) and they're all heavily anti-China.

Occasionally I push back on this and they always bring up the Uyghur "genocide". As a German person, I feel insanely uncomfortable claiming that there is not actually a genocide happening. And like, as a matter of fact, I don't know what the truth, but at the same time I don't feel comfortable just letting US propaganda go uncontested.

I am compiling my own list of sources but I would greatly appreciate help on this, please give me the clearest sources and arguments you have, because this is an important topic to me.

Just saying "RFA and Adrian Zenz bad" isn't very convincing, not even to myself, the best I have is the letter by the Muslim nations.

      So which parts of this you guys think are not true? This is not genocide genocide obviously (people claim it's a "cultural" genocide, right?), but it still doesn't look good.

        yeah its still human rights abuses but the scale and the severity are extremely inflated to push cold war bullshit, even France's program IMO is more fucked up let alone the non-domestic policies that China's cold war opponents have destroyed the ME with

          Are there good estimates for how many people are in/passed through those camps? If they actually house up to a million that's a hell of a lot of people for the province.

        My problem with this is that the privately run mental health facilities operate almost exactly like this in the US and we consider them healthcare and force people to pay for them.
