I think you don’t have a solid grasp of what the abuses really were and what actually happened in Xinjiang.
forced assimilation
Uyghur is used in schools, all signage is in both Uyghur and and Mandarin, Uyghur is still widely spoken and cultural practices continue.
reeducation camps
If it happened in a white country you’d call it reformative justice. When you get sent to prison being taught vocational skills so that you can reintegrate into society once you finish your sentence is how it’s supposed to work.
forced labor
Do you have a source for this. Xinjiang cotton farming for instance is some of the most automated on earth.
forced sterilization
This comes from Adrian Zenz (German evangelical on a self proclaimed mission from god to punish China (some of my favourite quotes from him
Through notions of gender equality…the enemy is undermining God’s unique but different role assignments for men and women”
… anti-discrimination laws put in place throughout the European Union … forbid employers to discriminate based on gender or sexual orientation. That way, it becomes illegal for churches or Christian organizations to refuse to hire homosexuals into important positions

(whole other rabbit hole)) misinterpreting a table that said Xinjiang made up 8.7% of new IUD insertions as 80%. As well as the fact that the population growth rate fell by 84% but that’s normal as developing areas develop throughout history. Also why bother exclude Uyghurs like the rest of us minorities from the one child policy if they were going to do this? It just doesn’t make sense.
What happened in Xinjiang is categorically not a genocide. Both the UN and OIC agree on that. The actual abuses were much closer to what the US does to its people of colour, racial profiling, dragnet policing etc. still terrible and inexcusable but calling it genocide simply diluted the word and throws mud on the real grievances.
Being accurate on reality shouldn’t get you labelled a tankie if it actually fits the meaning you prescribed it. Like I’ve been saying tankie is a pejorative used to apply a moral label to those who don’t tow the anti-communist line properly.
