My partner is Lebanese and one issue that has consistently come up with any discussion of Marxism (and honestly the online left as a whole) is Uyghur genocide denial. Essentially, they see it as proof of (white) western leftists being hypocrites and having a glaring Islamophobia problem. I'm inclined to defer to them, but at the same time, I've found myself often politically aligning with MLs on other issues, and I know very little about Chinese internal politics or the Uyghurs myself, so I would greatly appreciate being able to get an understanding of what the ML perspective is.

The Western narrative on Xinjiang is a lie. Pure and simple. There really isn't any more to it than that. ML's don't need to take a position on a non-existent issue other than to point out that it is complete and utter bullshit. Go watch some videos from Xinjiang and tell me where the genocide is.
