“Vimes had once discussed the Ephebian idea of ‘democracy’ with Carrot, and had been rather interested in the idea that everyone had a vote until he found out that while he, Vimes, would have a vote, there was no way in the rules that anyone could prevent Nobby Nobbs from having one as well. Vimes could see the flaw there straight away.”

Honestly yeah, but I'm not smart or well referenced enough to explain why. There are other posters on this forum that would do a better job but the tl;dr is that educating people is not a genocide and the only alternatives I've seen to the Chinese method of integrating minorites is to let them become a destitute underclass. The vast, vast majority of sources for this stuff devolve to a guy called Adrian zenz or just the US state department directly.

Sad thing is there are probably a fair number of people who aren't actively evil, genocide denying shitbags, but just kind of dumb and ill-informed, and all they know is some tankie horseshit they heard once on a podcast or vaguely remember from twitter and take it seriously.

I dunno, it's pretty evil to go "Gee, I haven't hear any good alternatives to educating minorities besides concentration camps and genocide!"

How can we say that forced relocation and re-education camps are bad when the United States has historically done the same thing? Everyone knows it’s impossible to say two different things are bad at the same time

I think you'll find that genocide is great as long as the Chinese are doing it. Those terrorists deserved it anyways. The US is just as bad. Why are you complaining? I think the Uighyrs would agree that it was wonderful, if they could only speak the mandated language we are forcing them to learn.

When you think about it, isn't the vicious spreading of Western ideas like "democracy" and "human rights" just the epitome of colonialism? Do you really think some ancient Greek pederasts know what's best for the people of China? 5,000 years of history have shown the efficacy of traditional Chinese politics (TPM).
