It has been noted that Uighurs are Muslims, and the reeducation camps (or whatever they are) are largely aimed at eradicating religious extremism (along with ethnic separatism), and yet the countries that are complaining about their situation are the post-Christian countries of the American bloc, not the Muslim countries of the OIC.
I agree that OP’s plan is unlikely to do much good, but I strongly disagree with both the direct meaning and implications of the above sentence. My understanding is that “eradicating religious extremism” is simply the CCP party line and nobody really believes it. Also, whatever the aims of the CCP, we have nearly incontrovertible evidence that their actions include severe human rights violations on a large scale. I’ve also heard that the fact that the OIC supports China’s actions in Xinjiang is response to Chinese bullying, not a reflection that they think such actions are good.
I’m downvoting this comment because it either (a) shows a lack of caring about human rights, or more likely (b) is needlessly unhelpful because it doesn’t start the brainstorm of ways to do good that realistically mesh with the CCP’s strategic concerns.
