Is there anything the U.S. can do for the Uighurs of Xinjiang?

ROFL. Sending her near Eastern Europe would be a fantastic move actually.

The next Republican President

will be what you would call a RINO. The American people are sick of Trumpist populist nationalism.

and google can be trusted?
lol

Try not to embarrass yourself! Google is not a source, ever. It is a means of accessing sources, a search engine. The sources which it identifies should of course be vetted.

It is in the presentation of sources that information can be molded into disinformation.

At present the PRC is subjecting them to what some called the Uighur genocide -- at least it's genocide in a cultural sense -- these Muslim Turks are being herded into internment camps designed to turn them into copies of the Han Chinese.

I'm sure it's not worth the risk of war -- but would economic sanctions help? And would they be worth the effect on the American economy?

Historically, by the way, China has always tried to control that territory, because it was the first leg on the Silk Road. On many old maps you will see a Chinese Empire that leaves out Tibet, but includes Xinjiang -- connected to China proper by a narrow land corridor. That goes back to the Han Dynasty.

Well the US supposedly put the virus in China so I think we are killing them all we can.

China is hunting down Uyghurs around the world with help from some surprising countries​
