The problem is that conflates very different actions.

Everything described in your quote is horrible of course and is a form of erasing an ethnic identity, but it’s still not the same as mass killings (including indirect forms like starvation or deaths in the Trail of Tears) to erase the physical existence of a people. Death is a significant step above assimilation and should be treated as such.

As far as settler colonialism being genocide, it still is under a definition requiring deaths. Millions of indigenous Americans were killed.

A quick look at the NATOpedia page ironically debunks the “genocide” part of the claims. The page for it doesn’t claim any deaths, and you know it would be at the very top if there was even a single death. Genocides require deaths, it’s in the name.

And they ran with the title “Uyghur genocide” for a while, but eventually even they had to admit there was no real evidence of a genocide and changed the page to “Persecution of Uyghurs in China”.

But aside from that, ProleWiki has an article on it that goes over the context of terrorist attacks and the Chinese government’s response, including re-education. Later in page it goes over Western claims with a critical eye, including pointing out the key (and dubious) role Adrian Zenz has played.
