Is USA actively genociding the Uyghurs right now?
Is China? The answer seems to also be no. If you're interested in evidence for this claim here are two pieces that I found convincing.
- The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a 57-member organization made up of mostly majority-Islamic nations, released this report in 2019 on Muslim communities and Muslim minorities in the non-OIC Member States. It states that the OIC:
Welcomes the outcomes of the visit conducted by the General Secretariat's delegation upon invitation from the People's Republic of China; commends the efforts of the People's Republic of China in providing care to its Muslim citizens; and looks forward to further cooperation between the OIC and the People's Republic of China.
- That same year over 50 nations, again most of which are majority-Islamic, signed a letter to the UN Human Rights Commission approving of the de-radicalization efforts in Xinjiang:
We take note that terrorism, separatism and religious extremism has caused enormous damage to people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, which has seriously infringed upon human rights, including right to life, health and development. Faced with the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism, China has undertaken a series of counter-terrorism and deradicalization measures in Xinjiang, including setting up vocational education and training centers. Now safety and security has returned to Xinjiang and the fundamental human rights of people of all ethnic groups there are safeguarded. The past three consecutive years has seen not a single terrorist attack in Xinjiang and people there enjoy a stronger sense of happiness, fulfillment and security. We note with appreciation that human rights are respected and protected in China in the process of counter-terrorism and deradicalization.
We appreciate China’s commitment to openness and transparency. China has invited a number of diplomats, international organizations officials and journalist to Xinjiang to witness the progress of the human rights cause and the outcomes of counter-terrorism and deradicalization there. What they saw and heard in Xinjiang completely contradicted what was reported in the media. We call on relevant countries to refrain from employing unfounded charges against China based on unconfirmed information before they visit Xinjiang.
These are mostly majority-Islamic nations who I think we can safely say have a vested interest in caring more about Muslim minorities than most, they have investigated and been satisfied that there is no Uyghur genocide in China. Personally I'm going to take their word over that of western media.
