Sorry, I thought you or someone else had said the UN report confided it wasn't genocide. So I went and found the UN report to point out what it did say. If that wasn't you, I apologize. There are a lot of parallel conversations going on.
But still, wouldn't the UN collective organization have more credibility than the individual accused nation when claiming their side of things?
"The man accused of says he didn't do it. The group of investigators determined it was voluntary manslaughter.."
Since you want to discuss the details of the report and China's response, I will look into both. Please hold.
What matters is the evidence. The UN is toothless and dominated by western interests, and the majority of muslim nations have come out in favor of China's evidence over the UN.
I feel like this article explains it in a way that reveals a bit more of the harsh reality, but still supports your claim of Muslim nations' support of China's policies. It's also from Medium.

They write plainly about the support being due to economic ties, fractured Muslim subdivisions, and "agreeing as a way to survive."
At this point our source is the same and still contradicts itself.
Again, I'll concede since I don't have a more credible answer.
This is largely someone trying to explain away something and push a narrative. Again, read Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation.
The bulletpoints you listed do not mention anything consistent with actual genocide by either the UN or colloquial definitions. The UN report's conclusion is that there were various types of abuse and repression but that there was no genocide.
