First, it’s the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Uyghurs, same as Israel and the Palestinians.

Second, no excuses here. You brought up the Israeli genocide in a thread that had nothing to do with the genocide and did it in a way so as to seemingly say that China is somehow less corrupt and guilty than the US… It’s not. Neither genocide is excusable or justifiable.

Then why did the Wikipedia article change its name from Uyghur Genocide to Persecution of Uyghur?

  Genocide is a controversial term.
  
  Even today, people contest the Armenian genocide, and Ukrainian genocide (holodomir). Even the Holocaust.

    I think most normal people are quite happy to ignore the opinions of anyone that denies the holocaust.

    People contest the Ukrainian genocide because it wasn’t a genocide, it was a famine that affected multiple regions including Ukraine, and didn’t have any ethnical component to it.

    It was Stalin who systematically made the famine worse in Ukraine to break them. I learned about it in High School history class.

It is absolutely relevant to why Tiktok is being banned.

Also equating the two is dishonest at best. The images from both tell a totally different story. You are just propagandized.
