Let's do a thought experiment. Please give this a honest consideration.
If the Uyghurs had 40,000 combatants. And if they were dug in tunnels under Uyghur cities. And fires 10's of thousands of rockets into Chinese cities. And killed thousands of people with hundreds of suicide bombings. Their cities were mined and booby trapped. Their combatants were well trained, armed with RPGs, sniper rifles, machine guns.
Then the Uyghurs raided some Chinese city, killing 1200 people, taking hundreds of hostages.
What do you think China would do?
China isn't bombing them because it doesn't need to bomb them.
Uyghurs have less people that care about them in the international community, for sure. I'm not sure they're not suffering a lot more than the Palestinians are.
If china's goal is to wipe them out as a people, its more effective to do that quietly.
Having Uyghurs cry for their kins brings international attention. Having them slowly deported to camps and sterialized brings about the same result without that pesky international pressure.
Also, sure Uyghurs killed Hans in riots, and they sure have conducted terrorist attacks in China.
