China is "authoritarian" from the perspective of capitalists, but liberating for the working classes. China is not committing genocide. Chinese citizens can and do critique the government, what's often censored is reactionary views or capitalists trying to foment liberalization. The markets are not free, and that's a good thing, as it's key to the success of China's Socialist Market Economy.
"Defending" genocide? Absolutely not. Genocide is the one of the greatest of all crimes against humanity, so when accusations of genocide are falsely levied they should then be resolutely denounced, lest they undermine real genocide, such as what Palestinians face at the hands of the Zionist entity. I have no shame for dispelling atrocity propaganda that undermines existing struggles, same as I would for the supposed "white genocide" in South Africa.
Just as "white genocide" was atrocity propaganda against those fighting apartheid, so too is the Xinjiang genocide narrative a political creation, with definite goals. Xinjiang is a key region in the Belt and Road Initiative, bridging the East to the West. Xinjiang is a key artery in the new multipolar era, and the West was hoping to foment radicalized elements to sever the artery and bleed the project dry.
When the CPC responded not with guns and tanks but with education centers and job opportunities, the West switched tactics to alleging "genocide," spearheaded by a lone christofascist paid propagandist named Adrian Zenz.
Today, the de-radicalization program has worked. Violent attacks are near 0, and Uyghur culture and identity are preserved and celebrated. I recommend reading Xinjiang: A Report and Resource Compilation if you wish to learn what's actuallu going on in Xinjiang and how it developed historically.
Fyi this strategy is not effective. You're literally accusing the only political group who cares about genocide of being pro-genocide because you don't know what the word means and you've learned to hate socialists. Your viewpoints are incoherent, not real, and we can just shrug them off like one would do a child's rage.
The only thing socialists will apologize for, to you, is that your mode of production has clearly let you down in a sad and meaningful way.
