How is it cultural genocide when they have all public things (signs, documents etc) written in Mandarin and the local language? If the government rebuilds and renovates historical and religious buildings? Sponsors cultural events, like festivals, parades, performances etc.
This is true for all autonomous and minority regions and cultures in China btw, not just Xinjiang and the Uyghur people.
What do you mean by cultural genocide exactly?
Who said it's Sinicisation? People can be taught life skills in a culturally respectful manner. China and Russia are not settler-colonial cultures. Is it cultural genocide to teach Uyghur adults how to read and write in their own language?
