  • Yes, in hindsight, calling that genocide with no real evidence of direct killing is a bit too much.

    👍

    But the report I linked to mentioned coercive birth control and internment or imprisonment for violations of the family planning policy (page 35).

    Your interpretation is much stronger than the report: ‘but remained “seriously concerned about reported instances of the use of coercive measures, including forced abortion and forced sterilization, with a view to limiting births”’. I’m not even saying that it isn’t happening. But if it was a massive problem, you’d think there’d be more than reports. There are mobile phones and foreign tourists in Xinjiang, it’s not like the government would be able to forcibly abort 10% of babies there without someone taking a smartphone video of the abortion police coming to their home.

    I’m reminded that forced sterilisation of minorities in the US is a known fact.
