>Who in the world has genuinely condemned the Uighyur atrocities that China continues to this day?

Parliaments, heads of state, etc have referred to this as "genocide" despite insufficient evidence (the view of US state department lawyers). I don't know what further condemnation you're looking for there.

There is evidence*, a new trove just emerged recently [1]

(edit: *genocide is a significant label, whether China's mistreatment qualifies as that is probably to be determined, but evidence of mistreatment exists)

>genocide is a significant label, whether China's mistreatment qualifies as that is probably to be determined,

That's what both my post and the US state department lawyers said. https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/02/19/china-uighurs-genocide-...

Right, and I guess we agree that on a condemnation scale of 1-10, being under suspicion of committing genocide, to the degree that nation states open formal investigations is not low?
Yeah I literally can't think of a stronger "condemnation" than that, which is why I was asking.

To your link, evidence, Adrian Zenz, etc, are things I would prefer not to discuss on this site. :)

Actually doing anything of consequence
Like what? Regime change? Genuinely asking.
Trade sanctions are usually a couple of escalation levels below forcing a regime change.
Done in March this year: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56487162 so it's not simply condemnation, there's action too.
What kind of sanctions do you have in mind?
