So this pretty strongly indicates that you have never actually read any pro-China arguments and probably only hate them because you've been told to. No rational person who supports China thinks that the "Xinjiang genocide" is happening (and there is plenty of hard evidence debunking Western claims that it exists, they're all over Lemmy so have a look see), and we certainly don't support any sort of genocide.
Again, this just shows that you have never actually seen any arguments against the Western narrative. Most of the commonly presented evidence is not from the Chinese government. It's a mix of independent sources and finding that there are more holes in the Western narrative than Swiss cheese.
This is the supporting evidence I speak of. You'll find that almost none of it is Chinese in origin:

You say that while not reading beyond what your absolutely transparent, benevolent and honest Western government and mainstream media tells you. The vast majority of English speaking China supporters are that way because they have researched both sides.
