I suppose the Uyghurs in detention camps are not included in “their people” then?

- dvivsivd 6y agoNo, they’re not. Uyghurs, Tibetans and Inner Mongolians are living under the yoke of the historically brutal Han empire. Made more brutal by Maoism. Tibet isn’t China. Inner Mongolia isn’t China -stans aren’t China. Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao are China. Free China. The China we should recognize and treat the CCP regime as a mere de facto ruler. Instead of smuggling weapons into Tibet and Chinese occupied stans (just like the CCP did in its near abroad and not so near) the West gave China the means to become the world’s eminent hegemon. Thanks Bill and Newt! The gifts of 90s political bankruptcy keeps giving.
- HuwytNashi_008 6y agoIs anyone saying that they are? All coverage refers to them similarly to this article - they are a Muslim ethnoreligious minority. The parallels to Muslim minority integration in the West is probably why it is so interesting to Westerners. The disparate treatment by governments is what makes it so striking - in China they are second class citizens; in the West they are favoured over the indigenous population.
