Those who? Which respected human rights organization calls it a genocide? [22][23][24]?
My bad. I wasn't aware that real genocides are decided by "respected human rights organizations", otherwise it's just a sparkling extermination program. Are you fucking serious right now?
Stop trying to devalue to meaning of the word genocide. If an opponent of the West was committing genocide these organisations would be the very first to use the term.
Genocide is a crime on Holocaust level specifically focused on exterminating a group.
Not every war crime or authoritarian oppression suddenly becomes genocide.
So, hypothetically, by your understanding of the word genocide... If I relocated a group of people based on ethnic or cultural identity, forced abortions, sterilized the populace, separated families and in some cases just straight up murdered them...that wouldn't constitute a genocide in your mind?
Clearly, you care more about the "value of the definition of genocide" more than you care about people who are actually victims of it by definition.
