I thought this was a good video. I’m not sure if it’s a genocide, and I’m sure it’s not on the same scale as Palestine, but I think what’s going on with Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities deserves serious criticism: https://youtu.be/cz9ICFDk8Js
Take this with a grain of salt as I have not done in depth research.
It seems at the very least to be an attempt at erasing an ethnic culture, comparable in some ways to Native American boarding schools in the history of the U.S. and Canada
Uyghur language is widely teached, is on the currency notes of the PRC, all public signs in Xinjiang are at least in Uyghur and Mandarin, Uyghurs are well represented in the arts, economy, and public life, hell Xinjiang is major tourist destination within China. Before Covid 300 million people visited each year.
The Uyghurs are one of the 56 recognized ands thus constitutionally protected minorities within the PRC. The PRC guarantees them everything the north american natives can only hope for.
I didn’t realize that the Uyghur language was an official language, and I didn’t know that ethnic groups have constitutional protections in China. I think a lot of the conclusions drawn from the video ignore the context that China has legal protections for languages and ethnic groups that places like the U.S. don’t.

No it is a horrible video. He takes every single western accusation for the truth.
Stop worshipping BE.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

It is completely uncomparable to those atrocities
No there is no such attempt, lol.
