Is this opposite day?

    The U.S. State Department’s Office of the Legal Advisor concluded earlier this year that China’s mass imprisonment and forced labor of ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang amounts to crimes against humanity—but there was insufficient evidence to prove genocide.

    It's not opposite day, what we're seeing here is a clash between the general use of the word "genocide" and the legal definition (which, and I cannot stress this enough, was written by several countries who were all guilty of committing genocides).
