:why? Do you see any other Wikipedia article about a country with a long list of alleged crimes it has done in the lead. Well china is not Nazi germany, this "genocide, mass murder, and forced labour are hallmarks" of the chinese regime seems incredibally biased and seems more of an opinion than a fact,how is this a hall mark for the chinese government, it makes it sound to opinionated as almost suggesting the Chinese government is a bad thing.

Include Uyghur genocide in the lead, it is the most notable genocide since the Holocaust

Considering that the Chinese regime is currently committing the largest genocide in the world since the Holocaust, it warrants an inclusion in the lead section as with Nazi Germany. At the end of the third paragraph, it should also include: In addition, genocide, mass murder, and forced labour are hallmarks of the Chinese regime, with its non-Chinese minorities being particularly affected. Since 2014, millions of Uyghurs have been interned and murdered in concentration camps in Xinjiang, known as the Uyghur genocide. 14.35.117.98 (talk) 09:58, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In this phrase:

China received 65.7 million inbound international visitors in 2019

please remove "inbound". If they were "received", they obviously weren't outbound; if they're "visitors", they're obviously not Chinese tourists returning from visits abroad; and "international visitors" makes it clear that they weren't merely received from one part of the country into another. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 02:18, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
