Nearly every week I see a story like this one in Newsweek. It is yet another author whining about the lack of public outrage at the CCP's genocidal activities vis-a-vis the Muslim Uyghurs of Xinjiang province in Western China.
Always the author questions why there is so little U.S. interest in the welfare of the Turkic citizens of the PRC. The answer may well be September 11, 2001. Whether 9-11 justifies the lack of empathy or concern is a question for someone else to answer.
I observe, however, that there doesn't seem to be much interest in the Uyghurs in Europe either. Not even their coreligionists in the Middle East seem to care, and for that I can only suggest China's vast wealth as a counterweight.
