How very brave of a Chinese-American, whose country or origin was 94% ethnically Han in 1953, and is still 91% Han in 2020 [1], to write a story where the evil whites in the US (87% in 1970, down to 61% a short 50 years later, and falling) [2] are culturally genociding her group.

Uncomfortably close to reality? It is reality - in China, for the Uyghurs.

Accuse your enemy of what you are doing. The more the US opens its borders, the more it is demonized.
