      Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group

      Exclusively anecdotic evidence

      Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part

      No evidence whatsoever, not even anecdotic. Look at the economic evolution of Xinjiang over time

      Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group

      Uyghur people were generally excluded from the single-child policy. By that logic, Han ethnics were genocided even more.

      Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

      Exclusively anecdotal evidence

      Please, be more serious with genocide accusations. This is a serious case of “Nayirah’s testimony” all over again. Basing serious accusations of genocide against an ethnicity on isolated anecdotal evidence, most of it from anonymous interviews, is simply not enough in my opinion, especially when the claim comes against a geopolitical enemy of the USA.

      All your sources are from 2021 or earlier, and there’s been absolutely no further evidence of anything you say. Reeducation camps (which the Chinese government recognised existed as part of a counter-terrorism initiative, and which existed for about 5 years) are closed, no more anecdotal evidence has popped up, and there’s no concerns anymore that there’s any genocide ongoing against Uyghur people.

      If you’re concerned about prison population of a particular ethnicity, I highly recommend you look at incarceration rates of black people in the USA, which instead of being anecdotic and lasting 5-years, are a systemic issue that has existed for as long as the country has, and has no signs of stopping. I hope you don’t make the claim that the US is genociding black people?
