The US was doing counter terrorism in the region with the CPC until a few years ago, when vocational training and community investment were seen as better deradicalization strategies by the Chinese government. I think it's comical that US citizens are taking US state department sides given how our "nation building" panned out in the Middle East.
We have more prisoners overall than China and they make around 50 cents an hour for menial labor. Why aren't there trade sanctions on Idaho golden potatoes, but anything involving Xinjiang? Not one Muslim-majority country has accused China of abusing Uyghur populations, the "international community" here means NATO.
I got called a "genocide denier" too for questioning the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the word means nothing at this point. We're aiding and abetting a genocide in Yemen, my taxes go to that, I care about it way more than the US talking about "alleged human rights abuses". Like we haven't heard that one before. At some point it becomes the boy who cried wolf. What, are we going to bring democracy to Uyghurs via a proxy war that creates a new ethnostate through a militant religious zealot minority? And it's going to work this time? At some point I figure people would learn but they seem all too content to repeat the same foreign policies that come back to haunt us
