Can you provide a source for your claim that “western media has backed away from the claim of Uighur genocide”?
This article seems to say that China has shifted to subtler methods of subjugation, possibly due to Western sanctions. Not that it was fabricated.
I’m not here to argue about the definition of genocide. IMHO, if there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Subjugation like... By applying the same standard to ethnic minorities that they do to the Han majority? People don't realize how far affirmative action in China used to go. There were protests against it. Weibo kept exploding complaining about it.
Can you provide a source that a genocide is actually happening?
Inb4 ASPI, Zenz, Abbas, Radio Free, NED

For the uninformed, Radio Free Asia is literally US state propaganda (a holdover from the first Cold War), the NED is a CIA cut-out, and Adrian Zenz is a joke.
I think there is a [smear campaign against Adrian Zenz])https://www.wsj.com/articles/pro-beijing-online-campaign-targets-u-s-based-xinjiang-researcher-cybersecurity-firm-says-11659607252), more here.

There are also interviews with escapees, e.g. https://www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/archive/2021/08/uyghur-genocide-china-us-immigrant/619806/ https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2018/9/10/escape-from-xinjiang-muslim-uighurs-speak-of-china-persecution https://thewire.in/rights/china-uighurs-xinjiang-camps-human-rights.
Thank you for this article. I love reading wsj and other western cope. Here's the unpaywalled article for others to enjoy https://archive.md/6cRwr
Nowhere in the article is the "smear campaign" debunked. It's only described. Nowhere it's debunked that Zenz actually does speak mandarin and nowhere is debunked that he isn't actually part of a fundamental christian rapture sect https://www.amazon.com/Worthy-Escape-Believers-Raptured-Tribulation/dp/144976908X - that is outlawed in China (based) - and thus has an interest in negatively portraying China.
Satellite Images like they had from WMD in Iraq? I wonder why these are always so blurry in 2020?
Also RAND lol https://www.rand.org/about/how-we-are-funded.html Check out how theyre funded
Anectodes. If you want to see what a genocide looks like look to gaza
