No, China is not commiting genocide. Uyghurs aren’t capitalists, but the west did fund and arm seperatist groups in Xinjiang to undermine the development of the Belt and Road Initiative. The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective’s Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is explicitly pro-PRC, but this is an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims.
Tourists do go to Xinjiang all the time as well. You can watch videos like this one on YouTube, though it obviously isn’t going to be a comprehensive view of a complex situation like this. Even with all of the real complexities, though, nothing material measures up to claims of genocide.
Hey, cool that you’re questioning it tbh, thanks for considering the possibility that western mass media lies about the “Uyghur genocide” in opposite to how they lie about the Palestinian genocide

I also recommend reading the UN report and China’s response to it. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does.

Interesting, I’m not sure I fully believe what either side is saying but it does sound believable that what’s going on is being exaggerated.

Feel free to dig in yourself, serious claims require serious investigation.
