paras 5-27

Question One:

The United States levels economic and trade sanctions on China for allegedly engaging in genocide citing to forced abortions and birth control of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. China argues that even presuming arguendo the claims are true, such conduct does not establish an intent to genocide because the same policies were also previously in effect with respect to the Han majority. China argues that vigorous family planning is simply a matter of domestic legal enforcement and the U.S. is using sanctions to contain China. The issue is now before the International Court of Justice. You are counsel for the United States - respond to China's argument.
