I think there is a [smear campaign against Adrian Zenz])https://www.wsj.com/articles/pro-beijing-online-campaign-targets-u-s-based-xinjiang-researcher-cybersecurity-firm-says-11659607252), more here.

There is no evidence linking the activity to the Chinese government

Mr. Zenz, who is now based in the U.S., said the letters are fraudulent and called the activity a smear campaign to try to discredit him. He said he has never received funding from Mr. Rubio or Mr. Bannon, and that he doesn’t accept money from politicians.

Thank you for this article. I love reading wsj and other western cope. Here's the unpaywalled article for others to enjoy https://archive.md/6cRwr

Nowhere in the article is the "smear campaign" debunked. It's only described. Nowhere it's debunked that Zenz actually does speak mandarin and nowhere is debunked that he isn't actually part of a fundamental christian rapture sect https://www.amazon.com/Worthy-Escape-Believers-Raptured-Tribulation/dp/144976908X - that is outlawed in China (based) - and thus has an interest in negatively portraying China.

Satellite Images like they had from WMD in Iraq? I wonder why these are always so blurry in 2020?

Also RAND lol https://www.rand.org/about/how-we-are-funded.html Check out how theyre funded

There are also interviews with escapees, e.g. https://www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/archive/2021/08/uyghur-genocide-china-us-immigrant/619806/ https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2018/9/10/escape-from-xinjiang-muslim-uighurs-speak-of-china-persecution https://thewire.in/rights/china-uighurs-xinjiang-camps-human-rights.

Anectodes. If you want to see what a genocide looks like look to gaza
