Debunking Uyghur genocide (hexbear.net)

Does anyone have a method of deprogramming liberals who believe in the Uyghur genocide? I have a new friend who is good on Palestine but awful on Xinjiang. Very AP-brained and trusting of western propaganda. He's well-read and is open to having his ideas challenged, so looking for something well-sourced or he'd probably disregard it. I found a debunking video that came out right after the original Zenz "report" that references a 51-page leaked document released by Zenz. It goes through 6 points and shows how Zenz's own documents contradicts his claims of human rights abuses. The issue is that it's from a small creator and I can't find the referenced document, so I can't point him directly to the facts and bypass the youtube video, which would likely be seen as insufficient.

This is part 1 of the debunk:

Good example would be Turkey, and how the army acted in Dersim and against YPG, this isn't defined as cultural genocide but Xinjiang is? Your best proof is redesigning fucking roofs for god's sake

Hey, there's also a video of a guy driving around a wall topped with barbed wire and every time there's any sign he stops the video, a red circle appears, and there's a camera shutter sound effect. This goes on for 20 minutes and also it's the guy that almost got deported back to China this week. Guess they figured out deporting a "heroic refugee" wouldn't support the genocide myth.

Oh did he get a stay of extradition?

Maybe I'm being too naive about how he'd be treated in China, but it would have been inconvenient for the US to send a friendly "enemy of the Chinese state" back to China only for him to just.. get on with his life with a more secure future than he probably has in America.

He'd go from being no longer of use to the US to (probably) being a living counterexample to the ridiculous falsehoods they want everyone to swallow uncritically. Like it'd just be an unforced error.

Germany deported a "dissident" back to China and literally nothing happened to them. Zenz even made a post about how he she was "lucky" that her arrival went unnoticed by the evil CCP and got absolutely clowned on in the comments. These people are just the equivalent of our "white genocide" grifters except no one in China is falling for their bullshit and the CIA op to name it into an international issue has long since failed.
