I agree with the UN when they concluded that there is no genocide in Xinjiang

From the UN definition you supplied, one of condition that need to be met to fit the defitntion;

A mental element: the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group

So lets compare the fabrication with a real genocide such the ongoing one in Gaza, their are statement from the Israeli government that declare such a genocidal intent, such as "Gazan civilians participated in the horrific events of October 7" "there are no innocent civilians there"

"I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly." - Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant

And here's a database of 500 statements of genocidal intent from Israeli government leaders


I'll repeat I don't deny that China has committed human rights abuses, but I concur with the UN OHCR that they fall far, far short of the definition legal and otherwise, of genocide

For this one condition to meet the definition, could you provide source that show such a callous and widespread intent to wipe the Uyghurs off the face off the earth from the Chinese government similar to those from Israeli state for it's current genocide of Palestinians in Gaza?
