::How is not a genocide? According to the causing bodily or mental harm to members of a group, imposing measures intended to prevent births within a group and deliberately inflicting conditions of life that bring about its destruction in whole or in part all count as genocide. Just because they aren't outright killing every single Uyhgur, doesn’t mean that it's not genocide. The word genocide is also mentioned in the article 252 times at the time of writing. ] (]) 16:56, 25 October 2024 (UTC) |

:::It's not for Misplaced Pages editors to judge the genocide criteria - only to assess whether there is academic consensus.{{pb}}There are academic sources that say that the label of genocide has not been substantiated yet, for reasons such as the underlying data from Zenz being speculative (as the disclaimer in Zenz's report says) and other claims being exaggerated or unverified. The 2023 ] book is an example, summarizing: {{tq|it is obvious that a campaign that aimed at Muslim minorities and abused their most basic rights definitely took place. However, the often exaggerated numbers, the way those numbers are presented—constantly repeating that millions of Uyghurs are being still and forever detained—and, principally, the unsubstantiated accusation of genocide, have to be criticized.}} — <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">]<sup>]</sup></span> 19:04, 25 October 2024 (UTC) |

::::I was about to make essentially the same point as MarkH. Some sources, including some academics and Govt sources say that what is happening is genocide and many others are more cautious. Ditto, some sources refer to the HR abuses by PRC as the “Uyghur Genocide”, the majority don't. We record those sources, but it isn't our job to 'endorse' or 'verify' claims made that the HR abuses are genocide, nor to endorse the 'name' of the event. You are engaging in what we would refer to as ], ie assessing whether ''you think'' that the policies of the PRC fit the UN definition of genocide. We simply don't do that here, whatever the issue, merely record/reflect what has been produced by ].] (]) 06:25, 26 October 2024 (UTC) |

Change "The Chinese government has engaged in a propaganda campaign to defend its actions in Xinjiang" to "The US government has engaged in a propaganda campaign to destabilize Xinjiang". Currently, there are no solid proof of Uyghur refugees migrating outside of China, especially to the United States. China has released a 144 day visa program for tourists to visit Xinjiang, as a result, many tourist have found out that Xinjiang is nothing like what the USA proclaims and is merely propaganda from western media ] (]) 17:13, 12 October 2024 (UTC) |

:The word "Brainwashing" should indeed be re-assessed. If meant literally, it is akin to arguing the earth is flat. "Brainwashing" is non-scientific, asserting "brainwashing" in some literal sense would raise the WP:FALSEBALANCE problem. However, in most instances, someone saying "brainwashing" means indoctrination. We should avoid colloquial or metaphorical language and simply say indoctrination. |

"Brainwashing" as a form of attack seems a bit ridiculous, and there should most definitely be an addition to this article about skepticism of the Uyghur persecution FrogOnGrog (talk) 12:03, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
The "Cultural effcts - Naming - Villege Names" seems to be having an incorrect spelling of the word "village". Not sure if it's a stylistic choice, but it may need to be changed to keep the spelling consistency. Princesan21 (talk) 19:08, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
