The West would "stick up for muslims in China" because it's a propaganda tool to beat China down and contain them. The research evidence from the religious zealot Adrian Zenz and ASPI (both US-funded) are laughable when you dig into the details. Since when have the West truly cared about Chinese or Muslims? Let alone Chinese Muslims.
The Muslims in China continue to practice their beliefs and traditional culture. They study their own mother tongue in schools and get preferential admission to good universities. Trying watching Vlogs of Xinjiang without the propaganda lens of western media. I don't see the continued practice of indigenous cultures and language in lands anglo saxon countries took by force (US, Australia). Anyway I'm not surprised the narrative here is so hypocritical. Just the first half an hour of RTE's coverage and the entire focus of the World Cup is on human rights and corruption. Didn't hear that when London hosted the Olympics in 2012 nor in 2021 despite their unprovoked, brutal and aggressive destruction of Tripoli amongst others in Africa and the ME (coups, regime change, and so on).
If you lot truly care about all these human rights abuses and atrocities that every country is guilty of, start from within and address your own problems first. They are truly horrific.
