I'm saying it's not a good idea. Just like the Rohyingyas who the West cheered on and waxed lyrically about their treatment for years, when push comes to shove no one did a thing to either take in the refugees or pressure the tiny weak impoverished government to stop committing genocide against them and their rebellion. If the West won't stand up to Burma, what do you truly think they're going to do against nuclear armed China, the second largest economy on Earth?
It's all well and good to have ideals, but don't pretend they apply in the real world of politics.
Feel free to say your country will take in a hundred thousand Uyghurs to free them, we all know it won't happen. The UK somehow has space for a million people from HK but there's no way on Earth they'd take 1% of that from Xinjiang province.
Words are cheap. Just ask the Rohingyas how they are fairing in 2020.
