As a Han person from Xinjiang, it hurts to see how people always associate China with CCP and just negative things in general. Ugyhurs are not treated fairly but there is no genocide either. The one child policy was only applicable to Han, all other minority groups have always been able to have as many children as they want. How could you call that genocide? There’re so many factors that play into the problems at China and it’s just not black and white.

I agree people tend to equate China to the CCP and that absolutely needs to be corrected. I have so much respect and admiration for Chinese people, culture, and history (I am ethnically Chinese as well) but I think associating the CCP with “negative things in general” is not a far stretch at all - Uyghurs are being forced into basically concentration camps, being literally chained to their beds, and forced into manual labour. This is not simply “treating them unfairly” it’s straight up genocide or at the very least, a precursor to it.

Things aren’t black and white but in some
cases people have to draw the line.

Manchuria has been hanized speaking from personal experience as a Han person from there. The culture is a hybrid of Manchu and Han culture tho as well as influence from Korean, Japanese and Russian (which geographically makes sense). I hope that's been happening in Xinjiang, but religion might be a big factor that did not exist in Manchuria. Even if you support the the Chinese nation, people there need to be educated that the Han have been taking over Frontier region. Guang dong and Sichuan used t be ruled by foreign cultures but now they are as Han as ever. Basically Han people need to be aware that the Han identity is based on different tribes in what is now China coalescing around the same culture by abondoning their own.

OP - your post is akin to someone saying blacks face no discrimination in America! How can you expect anyone to believe you saying there is no Uyghurs genocide? What do you consider a genocide?

Agreed and I think there’s just a lot of attention towards China for being the next eminent global power. Similar to when athletes or a normal person goes pro and all the spotlight is on them for every little detail into their lives. The execution of these ethnic “cleansing” can be much more humane but at the end of the day, the Xinjiang region is a huge strategic importance and China is simply not taking any chances. Every great power has done the same in the past and this is no different

The historical relationship between the regional is important to consider too. Manchuria was integrated during their rule over the entirety of China in the Qing dynasty.

I agree with you on a couple points:
1) People in the west tend to have a sweeping, overwhelmingly negative view of China and cannot/will not see anything in a positive light, esp when it comes to CCP. CCP has done absolutely fucked up things yes, but you have to admit they have absolutely done right things for the country too (lifting billions of people out of poverty, for example). It is not black and white.
2) People also equate the country of China, Chinese people, and Chinese culture to CCP. Everytime you say anything about China on this app, you bet you’ll get a ‘Free Hong Kong’ comment.

On Uyghurs, it’s hard to get a fair and objective view of how they are treated in general - obviously you can’t trust state propaganda media, but Western media also doesn’t portray a completely accurate picture. What’s happening in these camps is fucked up and wrong, but it is also incorrect and exaggerating to say that CCP is committing genocide to the entire Uyghur ethnicity.

I agree that it isn't a genocide. It's more aptly described as cultural cleansing and alignment to CCP's agenda and goals (i.e. unified China run by CCP/Xi out of Beijing, with religious beliefs that encourage obedience).
It's fair to associate CCP with China, since it's the only party that's allowed to exist, but CCP's positions =/= all Chinese people's views. Many people sadly miss out on the latter.
