No, China is not commiting genocide. Uyghurs aren't capitalists, but the west *did* fund and arm seperatist groups in Xinjiang to undermine the development of the Belt and Road Initiative. The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective's [Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation](https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/xinjiang). Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims. I also recommend reading the [UN report and China's response to it.](https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/08/un-human-rights-office-issues-assessment-human-rights-concerns-xinjiang) These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the [Victims of Communism Foundation](https://victimsofcommunism.org/leader/adrian-zenz-phd/), does. Tourists do go to Xinjiang all the time as well. You can watch [videos like this one on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJBvRn2Sytg), though it obviously isn't going to be a comprehensive view of a complex situation like this. Even with all of the real complexities, though, nothing material measures up to claims of genocide.

You should learn to spell "Uyghur" before trying to do your concern trolling. You are capable of disliking both real genocides (Gaza) and western manufactured genocide disinformation (Xinjiang)?

You also going to start ranting about white genocide in South Africa?

One is a genocide while the other was created by the [Mighty Wurlitzer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_influence_on_public_opinion?wprov=sfti1), which almost everyone fell for yet again. [Previously](https://lemmy.ml/comment/20466866).

Every accusation of the 'Uyghur Genocide 'is a confession of the west's own crimes.
