Good, but add Armenian and Gaza genocide denial to the list too. Or make it genocide denial in general.
-
According to the bill, denial of the Holocaust or other serious international crimes, such as those defined under the statutes of the International Criminal Court, would be punishable by a fine or a prison sentence of up to two years.

Armenian and Gaza is fully confirmed, but human rights violations of Xinjiang not so much, it's semantics at that much, like calling the modern Turkish state genocidal for destroying the culture of Kurds in northern Syria, when it was not explicitly to destroy the people itself
-
Its forced assimulation just like what the US did to the natives of America. If what the US did was genocide (it is), then what PRC is doing to Xinjiang and Tibet is also genocide.

I'd swear that there is a message group specifically for .ml users to jump in whenever any criticism is leveled at China.

You can swallow this Sinophobic garbage if you like
-
why do you think this is a useful thing to say
-
I return the question?

I thought I might gain a deep forbidden insight and transcend this earthly plane.

Criticism of China? Sinophobia.
Criticism of Israel? Antisemitism.
Where does it end, Yurophobia next?
-
When did China relentlessly bomb a population and starved them to death?
-
What is this even in relation to?

Fair enough, but the term genocide is far too inclusive, I've heard people use cultural genocide instead.
-
sure toootally the same
-
Well one is way more recent
-
please tell me when the Chinese carpet bombed a population and let them starve to death?

No, "cultural genocide" is not genocide. There is a pretty clear legal definition:
.. any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
-
Culture is a part of ethnicity, however.
-
It's pretty hilarious how tankies suddenly start quibbling over definitions once China is mentioned.
Where's that definition from?
-
-
The difference is that the US did actual genocide against the natives of America
