I think it’s a weak argument with the Uighur genocide to point to increasing population, but to be fair the full argument is that the population is increasing AND there’s no refugee crisis AND there’s literally no evidence of genocide at all that wasn’t just the made up ramblings of Adrian Zenz.
There’s more Uyghurs, and they’re living longer, and they’re more educated, and they have better housing conditions, and they make more money, all taken together makes it very hard to make out genocide.
Yeah if the government wanted to do a genocide why would they exclude the allegedly genocided minorities from the harsh population control laws. Like they’re literally making a law to decrease the population. You’d think that would be the perfect time to target it at minorities unfairly if you wanted to do genocide, but they didn’t.
i’ve seen people claim that about the uighurs. (iirc the real thing is that ethnic minorities weren’t held to the one child policy.)

I think it’s more about that they were excluded from the one child policy.
