Not necessarily. Forced labour if not intended to be lethal and forced sterilisation, well, it will depend on future figures regarding fertility rates, and whether or not they can be considered actually trustworthy Regardless, at this time it's difficult to call what's occurring a "genocide" without adjectives.Genivaria wrote:Gouverne wrote:
It is not genocide ffs. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group. There is zero evidence or even allegations that there are killings, let alone deliberate murders in Xinjiang. Even the US has not mentioned ANY allegations of murder in the internment centres. Obviously there are allegations of forced sterilisation and forced labour, but this most definitely does not constitute a "genocide" despite how concerning and disgusting it is. But I agree that there is sufficient evidence to suggest a "genocide of culture", an ethnocide. But not a genocide. There is a reason why the US is reviewing the Trump administration's declaration of a genocide, why Trudeau abstained from the vote, why most reliable news sources do not label it a genocide and why Wikipedia may change its wording too.
tl;dr
There is no "genocide" in Xinjiang. Yes, there are allegations of human rights abuses but there is zero evidence or allegations of killings (let alone state-sponsored mass-genocide) of Uyghur people. You could maybe call it an "ethnocide" based on the alleged promotion of Han Chinese culture over Uyghur culture.Obviously there are allegations of forced sterilisation and forced labour, but this most definitely does not constitute a "genocide"
Yes actually this does constitute genocide.
"Cultural genocide?" Without a doubt, and frankly it may be the cruellest one yet to come. In fact, in such a form it may be worse than simply genocide.
