Im all for the Uyghurs, the Tibetans, the Mongols in inner Mongolia, etc breaking away, and “The People’s Republic of China”, collapsing.
This is just a preemptive move by the Chicoms, heading off any international support that freedom movements in thier country might receive.

So using that way of thinking, you'd certainly support giving California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Texas back to the Mexicans,or at least have a UN plebiscite on the issue right?
I mean we did gain the territory by conquest.
Uighurs are only 7% of the total populations of Xinjian. I bet Mexicans are more than 7% of the population in the West.
Mexicans have alot more claim on the West than Uighurs have on Xinjiang.
While we're at it maybe we should give the western parts of North Carolina and Georgia back to the Cherokee. It is their's by treaty.
Ho ho, I dont think youre going to get too far comparing the USA to a communist dictatorship. POint is, noone in CA or TX wants to secede (yet). But plenty of people want to leave communist china. I dont know where you got your 7% figures from, but I know this: If the Uyghurs want China out of their country, Im for them. And so are plenty of other here. They never asked Al-Q for any help. Hell, Chinese intel probably floated that story to make the killings theyre carrying out there look legit.
Listen sir, as far as Im concerned, a good communist country, is a post communist country. China has been training al qaeda, has been a signal contributor to the Islamic Bomb, and is a major ally of almost every rogue state extant today. North korea, Libya, Pakistan... all are up to their necks in chopsuey.
What makes you so keen to see a people who have had nothing to do with Al-Q, and want freedom from a communist empire, done in?
