Lmao, do you actually think that "Uyghur genocide" means that China is carpet bombing Xinjiang 🤣

"Genocide" in China's case means cultural genocide. It stands in for forced assimilation. China isn't bombing every single school and hospital in Xinjiang and massacring hundreds of thousands of Uyghur people dumbass. And I don't support the treatment of Uyghurs in China, nor do I support Ukraine's invasion.

And this comment was really eye-opening. You American libs have made the word 'genocide' so fucking meaningless that you just throw it around for every single thing, including regular invasions. You didn't watch the video I sent you of an actual genocide, did you?

The entirety of the Muslim world agrees that what China is doing is absolutely not genocide. Cultural or otherwise.
