The first paragraph of the first link you shared:

The U.S. State Department’s Office of the Legal Advisor concluded earlier this year that China’s mass imprisonment and forced labor of ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang amounts to crimes against humanity—but there was insufficient evidence to prove genocide

So basically you’re saying “don’t worry they’re just doing crimes against humanity but not technically genocide.” Not a great argument IMHO

Right below this comment

It's the fucking US state department lmao of course they're gonna say whatever bs they can. The point is that even they stopped short.

What they have done in Xinjiang after ETIM's attacks is built vocational training centres, infrastructure, and started integrating it better into the rest of China's economy, i.e the core material reasons why someone would have to resort to extremism in the first place. Which is a far better response than other countries and has been successful, hence the muslim and global south countries approving of it.
