    You will call Chinese propaganda on this too, but plenty of youtube tourism showing vibrant and prosperous region with luxury maintained Mosques.

    Note also that their success is despite the lying based demonism of sanctions on the region.

    I appreciate the distant history is imperfect, but there are so many worse “progroms” and minority dominance stories in history, that using this as yet another politicization of history for warmongering ammunition, maybe the only practical purpose of historians, is the goal with zero consideration for peace and prosperity and contentment achieved by recent approach.

      Addressing your editorializing.

      Distant history? All of this is modern history… The vast majority nof the immigration to the region happened in the 00’s.

      Just because there are worse examples of government sanctioned abuse towards minorities, does not mean we should defend or deny any kind of abuse. Should we not condemn the genocide in Gaza because at one point the Israeli experienced a greater genocide? What is the logic of this way of thinking?

      this as yet another politicization of history for warmongering ammunition,

      This is just history…attempting to rewrite or cover up historical events is the politicization of history.

      the goal with zero consideration for peace and prosperity and contentment achieved by recent approach.

      By this logic the genocide and assimilation of the native American population is entirely valid.

      Your edit may be the most ethically devoid statement I’ve ever seen on this site. I think you really need to examine your moral compass.

      As I already said, the government has made massive efforts to assimilate the region and have pushed the majority native population away from major cities which are now being used for tourism.

      YouTube tourist are not journalist, they are not members of international rights groups. They are still highly restrictive of travel to areas where the vast majority of where the native Uyghur populations were relocated to.

      showing vibrant and prosperous region with luxury maintained Mosques.

      Because that’s what is traditionally important to cultural and religious heritage … luxury?

      If Israel rebuilds the Great Mosque of Gaza and turns it into a “luxury Mosque” as a tourist attraction…would that be okay?

      Note also that their success is despite the lying based demonism of sanctions on the region.

      Again…you have failed to establish that the accusations are lies. You have yet to make any kind of rebuttal that addresses any of the evidence I’ve posted.

      I don’t get how you can have such nationalist views of a country you have never been to, nor know any of the modern history.

      Are you claiming that all ethnic prejudice in East Asia is propaganda, or just this particular case? I really don’t understand how you can be so uncritical of the ethnic abuse in one country but not another.

      If I was really just propagandizing for the west, wouldn’t I be making excuses or trying to downplay the genocide occurring in Gaza? Please, just stop engaging in partisanship and use some critical thinking skills.
