Depends on how you define "genocide". I'll go with the UN definition where a culture is being destroyed. Plus, you know, concentration camps. Falun Gong is saying they are death camps harvesting them for organs which I personally think is unlikely. Like, they are concentration camps and people die there for a variety of reasons. But the people dying isn't the point. It's more of a happy accident, like how the American prison system does it. Unlike the American system, the Chinese are then super likely to harvest some organs.

That's different from the Falun Gong where killing them and harvesting them for their precious organs was the point.

Like, we have satellite photos of the reeducation camps and refugee testimony. Even if the latter is exaggerated the former is just real and very bad.

are you saying the Falun Gong intentionally kill people to harvest their organs? or just that the Falun Gong repeatedly accuse people of that? because right-wing fucklords frequently project their worst impulses onto their adversaries, but I'm absolutely bewildered by this rock I've overturned.

Sorry, the "they" in the sentence was unintentionally ambiguous absent context. Members of the FG were killed by the CCP and the organs of FG members were harvested. Hu's time in Tibet early in his career led him to take rather drastic stances on dissent. Xi is an assimilationist, hence the Uighur re-education camp. What happened to FG members is more in line with the liberal view of what constitutes genocide but it wasn't a genocide. What is happening to the Uighurs doesn't conform to a liberal view of genocide (i.e. it is not the Holocaust) but is a genocide.

hm i think that comparison might be misleading but i really don't know because i'm not sure what things are taught at these camps in xinjiang. what i mean is: the boarding schools in the US and canada were pretty much all christian, right? so they were converting indigenous people and effectively destroying a huge part of their culture by doing so. but is an equivalent thing happening in xinjiang?

i know that the chinese government says that part of what they're doing is deradicalizing people who allegedly have radical islamist beliefs or whatever, but is there evidence they're trying to convert these people away from islam entirely?

are uyghurs prevented from practicing their traditional culture? i've seen some people claim that uyghurs can't speak their language in the camps but i've also seen things debunking those claims, so idk

seems like there is a lot of misinformation out there and i don't know who/what to trust. i see no reason to trust western media, fwiw

i constantly see fake poo poo shared about "uyghur genocide" claims, like videos of people being beaten but they're actually from some other country in southeast asia, or a satellite image of a mosque having been destroyed to build a camp, but actually it was just the gate that was destroyed and the mosque is still there and in use, poo poo like that. it makes it really hard to trust claims about genocide because i don't know what's been done and what's false propaganda

there are unsubstantiated allegations of actual, factual organ farming of prisoners by the ccp, like someone with money/influence in china needs a particular organ, the ccp will locate a prisoner that's a genetic match, kill them, and take the necessary organ, putting the rest into their regular transplant system, and saying that the prisoner died in some other way.

the evidence, such as it is, is that for a long time china had a huge donor organ shortage, and right about the same time they really started to ratchet up the uighur genocide, there suddenly was organs for everyone

i need to categorically state that i have no idea if the assertion about transplant shortages and then there not being shortages is even true. and even if it is true, i don't know poo poo about chinese healthcare and transplants, so maybe if it was a problem, it was fixed some totally legit way. or maybe they really are harvesting organs from prisoners but only ones that died in other ways and falun gong decided to take what was already a crime against humanity and punch it up a little for god knows what reason

What makes you think there is a radical Islam problem among the Uyghurs? Is there anything more substantial than when the FBI entraps edgy teenagers to "prove" they're stopping terrorism in the US? The onus is not on the people being forced into camps to prove they shouldn't be. The onus is on the organization that is forcibly relocating people along ethnic lines, something that has rarely if ever been done for the relocated people's benefit.

I also fail to see what difference the Christianity of those schools matters. In Canada where the schools persisted longer they were gradually secularized, but it doesn't really matter. The point still remains that you're kidnapping people with the intention of forcing an eradication of their culture. The intention by the governments was always turning them into Americans or Canadians first and religious wackjobs happened to be the easiest group to use in achieving that goal. Colonization is wrong whether its done for religious reasons or not and whether the perpetrators are American, Canadian, Chinese, or any other nationality.
