Yep, China has already figured out how to work with its Muslim minority.

Muslim minority is treated worse by USA with the treatment of Palestine and its own Muslim population, same goes for India. So it will be better if we want to protect minority apply same standards for everyone.

As I said like China is imperfect in treating its minorities with differing opinions (Tibet, Uighur, Hong Kong and Taiwan), so is many large democracies be it USA or India (where majoritarian politics works the same way as China, trampling on the rights of minorities finding loopholes in systems and bypass all safeguards with majority support). We all have a right to disagree with Chinese system, but don’t have a right to force it on majority of Chinese who believe in their own system.

Lol. Nope. I know plenty of Muslims in the US. Being arrested and placed in a concentration camp hasn’t occurred to them as something to worry about. We’ve made plenty of mistakes and have a ton of discrimination still, but China is on a different scale of atrocity.

At the risk of descending into a mud-slinging fight, I'll just point out that the United States has been fighting non-stop wars in Muslim countries for nearly two decades, killing hundreds of thousands of people. The US government cannot credibly claim to occupy the high ground here.

Not to mention the indirect support of the displacement of Palestinians, which is the reason why all the conflicts and US involvement started.

Comparing Uighur with Wahabi is hard to swallow.
