    Word. I'm sure there's plenty of important, timely critiques of the treatment of minority ethnicities in China, but I've never seen any of it make it's way in to western discourse.

    Like even with Xinjiang, there are legitimate discussions to be had about how the rights of individuals should be weighed against the state's need to maintain peace, specifically in relation to the global war on terror and the Chinese government's program to suppress Salafi militant incursions in Xinjiang, but I've never heard the treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang discussed in those terms anywhere except in the UN report on Xinjiang.
