The Xinjiang genocide allegations are unjustified

The US government calls what is happening in China's Xinjiang province genocide. It should not, according to Jeffrey D. Sachs and William Schabas. They argue that international law has established criteria for genocide and required evidence before allegations of genocide are made. However, in the authors' view, this evidence has not been provided. They call on the US government to support an independent investigation by the United Nations in the Uyghur region.
