Just produce some evidence. I'm sure it's easy, it's not like you'd have to resort to something weird like pointing at a fraction of a percent difference between censuses as evidence of a genocide.

Just to be clear, that was sarcasm and is what the allegations of genocide are entirely based upon - dig into any allegations of uygher genocide and you can link back to Adrian Zenz's "study".

To be clear, I never said "genocide". I honestly don't know that that word applies to this situation.

For evidence that what's going on is not good, here's one of the first hits I find on searching the internet. It mentions a tribunal in the UK, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International all reaching similar conclusions and I find no mention of Adrian Zenz in the article or on the tribunal's web page nor any mention of population change.

Maybe if you tried even the briefest line of investigation into who any of the groups named are and how they reached their conclusions you wouldn't be embarrassing yourself by naming organisations that are very publically recorded as basing their opinions on his work.

You should be embarrassed at how little effort it took me to find that link.
