There are firsthand accounts of human rights abuses taking place against the Uyghur people on Xinjiang.

There are first hand accounts of human rights abuses taking place against Chinese people in the USA, I guess America is genociding the Chinese.

he Chinese fucking government reported a 60% decline in birthrates in certain Uyghur-majority regions in the province between 2015 and 2018. If that doesn't scream forced sterilization then I don't know what does.

Imagine trying to make this argument in a serious court.
