I understand the points you’re trying to make, but they fall apart very quickly in light of regional, global and historical context.

I’ve read and watched all of your links, and I’m replying with regard to your requested order.

Why are the Chinese throwing specifically Uyghurs into concentration camps and destroying their culture when there are so many minorites to oppress? Three big reasons: 1) Uyghurs look radically different than han Chinese, they look middle eastern and european rather than other minority ethnicities in China. 2) 94 percent of the Chinese population lives on the east coast of China. Uyghurs, 3000 miles west and thousands of miles closer geographically to Europe and the Middle East, are uniquely positioned to open diplomatic ties with other countries, 3) historically culturally distinct from the rest of China(being Muslim and near Europe, Uyghur schools taught multiple languages from a young age). Because of this relative academic excellence at the time,(distinguishing the rest of china) xinjiang was the only province of China not completely physically dismantled by mao during his rampage against “old culture”. Uyghur education was a good example for mao to point to. Now, the CCP is violently enforcing a homogeneous culture.

Being so far away from 94 percent of the Chinese population, historically disinterested in being part of China, being culturally distinct from China, and being in a position to easily open ties with Europe and the Middle East, with a 3-thousand mile head start on the CCP, makes Xinjiang a natural third major target for a dictatorial government trying to consolidate power. China has already attacked the first and second targets, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Although Taiwanese industry, infrastructure and diplomatic ties progress beyond the CCPs control; Taiwan has their own military, a distinct culture, western ties, and are even recognized as a separate country, so the CCP does what they can to suppress and discredit Taiwan without a full-on invasion. Hong Kong has Western ties and a distinct culture, and a large, concentrated population, but no military, so the CCP has passed incredibly broad and vague retroactive “anti-terrorism” laws that allow them to forcefully invade and occupy Hong Kong and extradite any Hong Kong citizen for any reason from Hong Kong to mainland China, to be detained indefinitely without any appeal in court. How about Xinjiang citizens? Culturally and physiologically distinct from other Chinese citizens, geographically far away from the CCP, and in a position to expand their influence even as they call for independence, but no separate military, a relatively small population, and no significant ties to powerful countries. So the CCP labels them terrorists, invades them, destroys cultural buildings that define the uyghurs as obviously a different culture, throw at least 10% of the population into re-education camps(make sure the politicians and professors are among that 10%), limit their transportation and track all the rest of them.

If you look at more than just the number of ethnicities in China, it makes perfect sense why the CCP is persecuting this specific minority: for the same reasons they’re persecuting, Taiwanese and Hong Kong citizens, except the Uyghurs have less resistance capabilities.

Since you asked about the hui specifically, they are terrified of being attacked next, since there was no provocation or necessity for the concentration camps in xinjiang other than uyghur physiological and cultural difference. The hui, however, look more like Han Chinese and have not advocated independence from China, unlike the uyghurs.

As for the US interest in Xinjiang, yes, that ties directly into one of the reasons stated above the CCP is specifically attacking Uyghurs. Wilkerson explains how the CIA could destabilize the CCP through Xinjiang, but It’s just as likely that the US would keep military on the western edge of a hostile, powerful country as the US military does with other powerful countries (3000 US soldiers recently sent to the western boundary of Russian influence with directions not to engage). Not engaging, but there. Wilkerson says that Xinjiang is an easy entry point to China, which yes it is, a lot easier than anywhere on the east coast.

The energy artery is no longer as significant as Edmonds makes it out to be, with regard to energy developments and energy investments in the last decade in the east of China. She’s also agreeing that Xinjiang is an important region for the CCP with ties to other countries. That is why the CCP wants to control xinjiang completely and erase any trace of independence.

As for no cultural genocide going on, not being allowed to speak your language, forced to pledge allegiance to the CCP, not allowed to wear your own clothing, and the cultural buildings(at least 10,000 mosques so far) that have been destroyed speak louder than the lack of evidence you’re providing.

It’s fine if you don’t like the BBC, but their video is of a re-education camp detaining Uyghurs, created by China to culturally repress Xinjiang citizens, and the Chinese officials in charge of that particular camp admit the Xinjiang citizens may be detained without cause indefinitely. Whatever you think of the BBC, that’s what is being shown in that video sanctioned by the CCP of a camp sanctioned and exhibited by the CCP. Similar documentaries(often longer than the BBC News statement) are available by vice news and other news organizations.

Seems like whoever wrote that article you linked to just really hates that one BBC presenter and does nothing to discredit the actual content of the video.

As for zenz, your argument is that the cultural genocide against Uyghurs zenz claims hasn’t been disproven because his studies have been accepted. Which doesn’t address the fact that his studies have not been disproven.

I get that you don’t like Zenz, he seems bombastic, and I don’t care about him personally at all(data over tweets for me), but I don’t think that has a bearing on what the CCP is doing to the uyghurs.

Side note - what are you talking about with zenz being a day late? China announced covid-19 human transmissibility in January 2019 afaik, and that tweet is from May. Is that 5 month gap what you mean by “the day after”?
