See, this is a common pattern in anything involving Adrian Zenz: by throwing together two facts, the growing usage of contraceptives - itself a healthy trend in a region where it’s common to have lots of kids (one child policy didn’t apply to Uighurs) - and several cases of forced sterilization, he gets to conclusion of “population-wide forced sterilization” - which is not supported by factual evidence.

As for “what about” - I agree that all violations of human rights matter. But if we ignore facts and believe propaganda instead, eventually we will forget about those facts. Just how most people don’t think much about Saddam’s victims because of how US lied to justify the invasion.

Can you show me the source for the claim that those crimes in Xinjang are officially sanctioned?

This only shows that they happen. That part is pretty well documented, but the same thing happens in Western prisons. What it doesn't show is that they were officially sanctioned, as opposed to being committed by a guard against the law.
Sure, and the Wansee Protokoll didn't come out until 1947 (and, famously, was itself quite euphemistic).

The entire topic of this thread is the disclosure of official documents which, like the Wansee Protokoll, expose the regime's real goals and practices.

Of course, there are people who still disbelieve that the Holocaust happened. I try not to argue with them online, once they have shown their true motives.

Again, can you show me where said document says so?
