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:

In all the time it’s supposedly been happening there has not been a single piece of evidence that it actually is beyond blurry screenshots with no context. If Israel can’t even hide their genocide then there is not a fucking chance that the nation with the highest population, highest level of surveillance and highest level of phone ownership can hide one, not to mention Xinjiang literally being a popular tourist destination.

Also the Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities were excluded from the one child policy specifically to prevent an ethnic cleansing.

Not only are ethnic minorities like the Uyghurs excluded from the one child policy they are the only ethnicity who apparently still has their birth rate above replacement level in China so if the CPC was truly committing a genocide it would have been a massive failure.

I'm pretty sure there are currently no restrictions on having children anywhere in China right now (and in fact they are trying to raise the birthrate)

Yeah they did away with them but during the time they had them ethnic minorities were exempt (as were han chinese people in the country who could have up to two children) and the Uyghurs continue with having the highest birthrate.
