> enacting policies to suppress the population numbers of non Han-ethnic groups in the country

It is terrible.

It is also common, although thankfully not so much in the 21st century as in previous.

Of the top of my head... Americans, British, Canadians, Australians, Spanish South America, Germany, Russia, Various Balkan countries. My African history isn't very good, but I'd imagine there too.

And these are just examples of state-sponsored and facilitated, non-genocidal (so leaving out direct murder) attempts to shift the majority ethnicity within an area.

This is nonresponsive nonsense. First, you can't just link half of wikipedia and assume the correct supporting argument must be in there somewhere. There's a huge difference between different types of population control measures.

But more to your direct point: the CCP is engaging in forced sterilizations right now in 2021. See sibling comments with links.

I linked "half of wikipedia", because that's in how many countries changing majority ethnicities has been state policy.

I'm not one to often bring whataboutism into arguments involving China, but I think it's an important point of context that many of the world's now-stable countries either perpetrated same or were victims of it.

It doesn't begin to excuse or justify it, but it does provide some perspective on the darker parts of our own history.
