We didn't see massive uprisings in Nazi Germany also, and there were some Jewish individuals collaborated with the Nazi regime. Your argument couldn't be less convincing.

The comparisons with Nazi Germany are truly disgusting. In my view, it borders on Holocaust denial.

Nazi Germany murdered 6 million Jews. Nobody is being killed in Xinjiang. Before the Holocaust, the Nazis very openly espoused a theory of racial purity, called the Jews parasites, and passed race laws that systematically separated Jews and "Aryans." Nothing of the sort is happening in Xinjiang. In fact, the Chinese government espouses exactly the opposite view: equality of all ethnic groups.

It's possible to talk about abuses in Xinjiang without engaging in massive, offensive exaggeration and comparing it to the Holocaust.
