Well yes. But this and the extermination of buffaloes as the other user pointed out were supplemental to a wide gamut atrocities one of which was straight up cold blooded murder of the indigenous people.
The reason I ask in this context is that famously there is not one confirmed dead person in this purported Uyghur genocide. All we have are extremely dubious “missing” people from the West-run Uyghur Victim Database which was found to have some AI generated pictures in it.
So yes theoretically I acknowledge that you could kill a people without killing individuals directly. But reality is different. There are certain factors like resistance effort from victims of genocide leading to deaths and often the callous barbarity of the genociders that make such a “clean” genocide with no spilt blood impossible.
Oh absolutely, any forced sterilisation comes after massacres, it never just happens in a vacuum. Nothing about genocides happen in vacuum, except in Xinjiang, where Xi just randomly woke up one morning and felt like doing a genocide for no reason or benefit, but wanted it to be an invisible genocide, undetectable to all but the whitest of white supremacists (the people well know for opposing genocide)
To our lemmygrad comrades for the quality dunking on this lib
