Here's the interview the article centres on it's hilarious how obviously the interviewer Johnathan Swan comes in with the Uyghur angle. Swan reeks of arrogance here.
Khan starts off by touching on how ideology around terrorism became even moreso anti-Muslim after 9/11 . Swan replies: Speaking of islamophobia, in Xinjiang Muslims are forcibly sterilised, can't name their kids Muslim names, are turned into Nike shoes, can't buy Coca Cola and read Politico/watch MSNBC. According to him the "Evidence is overwhelming". In fact, so overwhelming that a source isn't given anywhere.
"We have a rules based system here in the west - how can you accuse Democratic Western Countries of islamophobia, when Mr. Jinping is forcibly forcing an authoritarianism over there?" Pathetic attempt for a gotcha! moment on Khan that's only further exposed when Khan brings up Kashmir.
The US loves rule-based order so much that it starts wars of aggression without being subjected to international sanctions and expulsion from the UN, unilaterally and illegally sanctions poor countries that don't bow to them, excluded itself from ever being targeted by the ICC and by preventing genocides that it supports from being investigated in the UN.
Drinking game: go to the Atlantic Council's report on Chinese containment strategy (or any of their publications) and ctrl-f "rules-based". Take a shot for every entry.

Notice how the interviewer uses the newly coined US catchphrase "rules-based order" too.

We love rules so much we passed the fucking Hague Invasion Act
They're not barbarians, they wouldn't just invade the Netherlands to break war criminals out of jail without doing the proper paperwork first.
The Act ensures they never have to. It is sufficient to simply threaten. Like waving a gun in a guy's face and saying "Don't bother calling for help".
