The Han Chinese have a major bone to pick with the Uighers. They see them as the reincarnation of the horse riding semi-nomads who were continually at war with China and managed three times to conquer . Further during the 20’s and 30’s the Uighers enthusiastically participated in a major uprising in Sinkiang to separate from China. Sven Hadin’s ‘The Revolt of Big Horse’ is a fascinating account of this. Finally during the Second Sino-Japanese War the Uighers assisted by the Soviet Union continually attacked the Nationalist forces in North China. While this is now a communist regime the PRC leadership is very sensitive to the situation in which Chinese forces in that area were beset with fighting the Japanese, a native revolt, even if it was communist, and attempts by a border tribe subvented by a foreign power to grab a piece of the frontier zone. On top of this the Uighers are muzzards and the Chinese , for good reasons, have no love for the religion of piece.

The bottom line question is still this — GIVEN ALL THESE HISTORY with the Uighurs, is forced abortion, mass incarceration and demographic genocide the solution?

This background is good and it is helpful.

Nonetheless, we should be standing against forced abortions and sterilizations and other forms of genocide. There are no caveats or qualifiers.

I do not understand how anyone could think or write otherwise.
