There is ongoing confusion about whether “genocide” or “cultural genocide” best describes what is happening in China’s Uyghur region today. Some say there is no genocide, only cultural genocide. "In my view, it is both genocide and cultural genocide," explains Magnus Fiskesjö (Anthropology, Cornell and core EAP faculty).
