> Break their lineage, break their roots, break their connections, and break their origins. Completely shovel up the roots of “two-faced people,” dig them out, and vow to fight these two-faced people until the end.

Guess who said this? The Chinese official for religious affairs, on his weibo page. They aren't stupid. You don't need guns and executions for extermination of a minority, you can force resettle them across the country until nothing of their culture and little of their gens is left

Here is a few statistics:

> Since 2017, Chinese authorities have used various pretexts to damage or destroy two-thirds of Xinjiang’s mosques; about half of those have been demolished outright

> In 2017, according to official statistics, arrests in Xinjiang accounted for nearly 21 percent of all arrests in China, despite people in Xinjiang making up only 1.5 percent of the total population

I didn't say the Chinese government was nice, I said it was tendentious, provocative and clichéd to describe its forced assimilation policy as "exactly the same" as the Nazis' approach which involved extermination camps and assumption that the vast majority of Slavs were untermenschen unworthy of being assimilated

The fact your attempt to justify the original comment involves citing some stats related to "counter terrorism" brutality and forced "reeducation" in another region which also does not remotely resemble the Nazi approach to conquest of the East tends to underline this point...
