China is likely doing some really shitty stuff around the Uyghurs. I'm guessing it could include genocide even, but more on the level of forced sterilization and cultural destruction. I would guess that the most likely comparison would be to the Native American school systems in North America. Pretty fucking bad, but not ten million billion Uyghurs like Zenz claims.
Agreed. Relying only on Chinese data the birthrates of Uyghurs in Xinjiang has had a noticeable decline since 2017 after remaining incredibly stable for something like a decade prior.
I mean without evidence it's just kind of conjecture to claim that, especially when there is very credible evidence of forced sterilization of the same ethnic group in that very region. Like what, the ethnic group who are being sent to forced labor camps just all happened to start using contraceptives in the same year? Come on.

You really, really can't just "guess" something like this.
i remember watching a video of a guy visiting xinjiang and he interviewed people on the matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twPrtoyckuc
he's obviously from a prochina viewpoint but i do think its interesting to watch.
What they seem to be doing is eliminating the rebellious elements of culture, which probably has lead to false arrests.

this happens naturally from industrialization tbf. theres also a weakening taboo around contraceptives based on contraceptive sales stats.
Birth rates are also going down for all ethnicity's of China I think.
While true, the decline in the Uyghur population specifically is greater than that of the Chinese population in general.

What "very credibly evidence"?
That's false.
