Yeah, sure. Those "re-education" camps are not real. You Lemmygrad people believe in something else.

Those are vocational training centers and.noone disputes their existence, lib. Also it's funny you're sharing the Wikipedia link that used to be called "Uyghur genocide" but had to change title due to lack of evidence

CCP doesn’t like minorities, especially Turkic minorities. What they do is mere assimilation and it doesn’t fall far from genocide

The fact that Xinjiang has one of the worlds highest mosque densities and having arabic description everywhere contradicts your assessment.

Lack of evidence is a cool term, because it’s total controlled under CCP. They don’t allow foreign media there. Hmm, what could be the reason I wonder.

Israel has banned aljazeera and other news outlets and organizations critical of them from their territory, yet are not able to hide the genocide on the Palestinians.

Considering this your assessment is also laughable

At least do some basic investigation before you opine

Thank you for acknowledging that the situation isnt black and white, also I aplogize for commenting with an overly hostile tone.

Since it's impossible to prove a negative (the burdon of prove lies with the accuser/west), there's a context that you might be missing and be interested. Here's a comprehensive contextualization from the Chinese perspective utilizing western sources:
