> I don't think we are harvesting them for transplant organs. The organ harvesting stuff is not exactly proven: > According to a unanimous determination by the China Tribunal in May 2020, China has persecuted and medically tested Uyghurs. Its report expressed concerns that Uyghurs were vulnerable to being subject to organ harvesting but did not yet have evidence of its occurrence.[240][241][242][243] Grant that they're putting them into labor camps and re-educating them, but harvesting their organs? This is some comic-book villain type stuff. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. > massive project What project? Do you mean how it reacts against sanctions that try to divide the country, in much the same way as Israel does, or for that matter the U.S. would, if someone were trying to put sanctions on prison labor? > US is not going to sponsor guerrillas in Xinjiang, under any circumstances. ...because? Because the US loves and values the territorial integrity of China, or what? > with no repercussions If so, why are they doing it? For the sake of being evil?

You do understand that China is a dictatorship? They are even less constrained to reason than democracies are. Why did the US institute a torture regime in Afghanistan and invade Iraq? Ultimately, because Dick Cheney wanted to, and no one who could say "no" and make it stick did, though various generals were fired. The US will not be sponsoring guerrillas in China because even the US is not stupid enough.

  In other words, then, China is doing this for no discernible reason, and the US is just being kind in pointing out how they are harming themselves? Why would the US not sponsor terrorists in China? Some separatism would do good to distract them, like the US wasted trillions on Afghans.
