Uyghur "Genocide" is so hardwired to people's brains, how do any of y'all try convince others that they're believing propaganda?

It's really frustrating, I was talking to someone about how successful China has been in de-radicalization of reactionaries. But they responded to this by saying they're only successful because, and I quote "put them all in concentration camps and killed them"
Has anyone here been successful in deprogramming people about this topic? If so any good sources I can use to dissuade them? I tried telling them that the UN report, if you read it, just says that there's concerns about abuse by internment offcials, and there's no evidence of genocide. But when I say this they just dismiss it as if the UN is controlled by the PRC. It's like a religion to liberals to believe anything bad about China and can get really frustrating.
You're viewing a single thread.
Maybe I'm actually crazy, but there was a time like a year or two ago when it seemed like the US actually gave up all pretenses and admitted it was bullshit? (edit:I should say it later seemed like this may have been reversed). I distinctly remember a collective cathartic sigh on then Twitter that the uyghur slander thing was FINALLY coming to an end. I definitely remember a NED tweet from well before then basically laying claim to supporting sowing extremism in the region, but I could also swear there was a major outlet expose (maybe multiple exposes) months later detailing all the state department bullshit surrounding the situation (e.g. deliberately mistranslating/mislabeling "job centres" to torture camps or something to that effect, and so on)
Pretty sure they did, the state department said it didn't happen or at least there was no evidence, and then they picked right back up again
Watch them go right back to it after genociding muslims in gaza for real.
It seems to have died down in the news (I mean not really — the recent NATO War summit has shifted the anti-China narrative in the media to "China is militarily supporting Russia") but a lot of generic TV slop tries to insert China bad narratives in episodes.
You'd think we'd have a leftist wiki with a page on a subject like this with a sentence about an event like this with citation(s).

I'm surprised not many people posted this. Thanks comrade
Is this a sarcastic comment pointing out we do have one? Because if so hook a brotha up

Amazing resource.
