Yeah no shit, If no genocide is going on obv you won't have sufficient evidence

some legal experts suspect China’s behavior may fall short of actual genocide.

Isn't an all clear, it's far from it.

Yeah you're right that is why china should stay guilty until proven innocent, even when the evidence for genocide is paper thin in first place

The source I posted is western and the fact that they even acknowledge a lack of evidence is quite telling.

Since it's impossible to prove a negative and taking western hegemony in (western) news sources into account makes i an almost impossible task to disprove the genocide narrative, I'll post the Chinese perspective which provides a much larger context: https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/xinjiang
