Suppression of birth does not mean “limiting”, it means “preventing”. The actual U.N. article phrasing is as follows:

Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group

If the Chinese government was imposing sterilization on their own people in the native ethnic majority, then that too would qualify under that definition, as long as the intent to "physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group" is proven (emphasis mine). The same need to prove intent applies to this situation with the Uighur people as well.
