I'm trying not to get too caught up in semantics here. It sounds like you're saying that the relocation that the Chinese government puts Uygher people through cannot be comparable to the relocation that other cultures have been put through, and that the lack of a mass death toll is serviceable evidence for that claim. Do I have that correct?
If so, it's a good point! I think I had a presumption that the true nature of their (and any government's) crimes was hidden. It does seem a bit far-fetched that it would be possible to cover up the kind of mass death that you're saying would come with a colonization, so it's a more reasonable metric than just making assumptions based on vibes I suppose. You've at least given me a less propagandizeable thing to research ^_^
