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.
