      “element of uyghur culture…”

      uyghur children.

      according to official Chinese government statistics, the xinjiang birth rate fell in the 4 years since millions of uyghurs started being mass detained from 11 births per thousand to 3 until the CCP stop sharing statistics in 2020.

      Mass detention and strict birth control policies are still in effect in xinjiang.

      as the articles point out, that is a far more drastic birth rate decline then in Iraq, Syria, Yemen during their conflicts or even Germany in 1944, and the uyghur birth decline is directly tied to Chinese government efforts to stop uyghur births.

      if uyghurs don’t have a next generation, they don’t have a culture.

        Xinjiang is above the national average for Chinese birthrates : https://www.statista.com/statistics/1179703/china-birth-rate-by-region-province/ All of China’s birthrates have been low, and when there was a limit on how many Children people in China could have, Xinjiang and all ethnic minorities were exempt from the policy. Additionally, it makes sense that as education in general, sexual educational specifically, and contraceptive access grows, birth rates will lower. More educated people everyone on Earth have less kids and have them later. People who had never had access to contraceptives and start to use them will suddenly not get pregnant.

        This is not evidence of a cultural genocide, it is evidence of birthrates going down at a slower pace than the rest of the people in the country they live in. China actually has a crisis of wanting more people to have kids than they are having. South Korea and Japan are having similar issues to China in this regard, it is not a unique thing in the region for birth rates to be falling. For Uyghurs to specifically have higher than average birthrates, it really shows that there is no way you could argue there is statistically significant evidence that Uyghurs are being denied the ability to have kids.

        Now, can you name a single element of Uyghur culture that is being repressed? You tried with kids in general, which isn’t an element of Uyghur culture anyway so doesn’t really make since for your claim of a cultural genocide, but that has been proven to be false. Aside from your source being the literal governments of China’s enemies and the weapons manufacturers who want to profit off war with China, the entire premise is proven to be false by the data. So what else you got?

        edit: never mind you got banned, I guess you really can’t name a single element

          I like how western claims want from from actual killing-chambers genocide, to “cultural genocide” to state repression. Definitely a genocide.
