Whether the Chinese have committed genocide or not, every single capitalist nation should be recognised as having committed genocide through the system of capitalism. Genocide of the homeless, the poor, the working classes. And not only a genocide of many people's lives due to the live-and-let-die idea of capitalism, but also a genocide of the proletariat's freedoms. Forever, since the beginning of capitalism, has happened a mass genocide, whether indirectly or directly, performed by the Bourgeoisie in their maddened lust for money and power. Of course, this is not recognised as genocide because it is "natural" as almost every country lives under this system. But I would certainly call it genocide when many working class people all over the globe (of which almost three quarters are homeless) can't afford health insurance, or even to call an ambulance, and are losing jobs and living in the streets on tents and scavenging bins for any food they can find and relying on the kindness of other, more fortunate people, while multi-billionaires jet off to space and act loony in zero-gravity with more money than they can count. And thus while Jeffrey Bezos, marvels at the planet from a billion-pound space trip, thousands of people die due to capitalism.
Capitalism is, in itself, genocide of the working classes indirectly by the bourgeoisie through control of the means of production and money.
