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.
Raphael Lemkin, who first coined the term, defined genocide as “the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group” by means such as “the disintegration of [its] political and social institutions, of [its] culture, language, national feelings, religion, and [its] economic existence”.[2]During the struggle to ratify the Genocide Convention, powerful countries restricted Lemkin’s definition to exclude their own actions from being classified as genocide,[3][4] ultimately limiting it to any of five “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.[5] While there are many scholarly definitions of genocide,[6]almost all international bodies of law officially adjudicate the crime of genocide pursuant to the Genocide Convention.[7]
From that wiki page, and I appreciate the just barely academically masked sass about why it’s such a narrow definition
Good, but add Armenian and Gaza genocide denial to the list too. Or make it genocide denial in general.

Fair enough, but the term genocide is far too inclusive, I’ve heard people use cultural genocide instead.
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?
No, “cultural genocide” is not genocide. There is a pretty clear legal definition:
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?

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?
My guy, what does this have to do with my comment
The difference is that the US did actual genocide against the natives of America
