These two are from long before there were ever any allegations of any kind of genocide. There was US funded terrorism going on, that’s all.

It originally started with a report authored by Adrian Zenz, a far-right fundamentalist Christian who opposes homosexuality and gender equality, supports “scriptural spanking” of children, and believes he is “led by God” on a “mission” against China. He says he interviewed 8 people and came to his conclusions about millions of people in prison. He’s a senior fellow in China studies at the far-right “Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation”, which was established by the US government in 1983. He also thinks that Jews who don’t convert to Christianity should be wiped out.
Honest question, what evidence is there of it being a hoax?
Honest answer, there’s generally no evidence for hoaxes as such, just no evidence for it having happened.
What about the “sources” section of said page about the Uyghur genocide?
What about it? Let’s go through them:

Another uncontroversial piece.
None of these back up any claims of genocide. Nobody’s even ever found a single refugee. There was this person who did an AMA only for reddit to call her out.
