The article mentions the internment camps.

(I didn’t downvote your comment.)



Unless I missed some part here, you’re probably referring to this part of one sentence as the only mention, correct? If so, I find this not very credible when we look at the length of the post alone. But yes, technically you’d be right and I should have phrased my comment better.

> That’s due to the operation of detention camps for ethno-religious minorities


Calling it a genocide reminds me when some people compare the modern day American football to slavery: such inaccurate and click-baity name calling makes anyone who is sympathetic towards China an accomplice on the order of Nazis, and gives the Chinese government an easy target to refuse. I get that it raises eye-brows and generates attention, but ultimately it detracts from any effort to stop such brutality. It seems lazy.
