Genocide of Uighurs in Xianjiang?

What is genocide? It is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. 

Xianjiang is an autonomous region of China. Its population has been growing, not decreasing. In 8 years from 2010 to 2018, the Xianjiang population has grown by 14% from 22 million to 25 million. The Uighurs have grown from 10.17 million to over 12.71 million, an increase of 25% or 2.54 million, while the Han Chinese have grown from 8.8 million to 9 million, an increase of 2%. 

There are 56 ethnic groups in China. The Han Chinese are the largest group, so the rest of 55 groups are minorities. When the One Child Policy (1979 - 2015) was used to control the rapidly growing urban population, there were exemptions made available to most rural parents and minorities including the Uighurs. The accusation that the Chinese Government deliberately wants to kill off the non-Han Chinese citizens is nothing but political B.S.  

Genocide of Uighurs in Xianjiang? It is nothing but dirty politics against China. We are living in an era of fake news, fact distortions, lies and slanders. Everything seems to be politicized. The China-ignorant politicians in the West should rather study the facts and the real China, and reflect with their conscience on their own true history of genocide against their indigenous people.
