    It's not even a cultural genocide. Part of the education is to maintain the culture, specifically language, dance, and history. The only part they're trying to get rid of is the recent development of violent extremism and turkik nationalism that serves states like Saudi Arabia (and the US).

        The third reason we're there is because there are 20 million Uyghurs, and they don't like Han Chinese, in Xinjiang province in western China and if the CIA has to mount an operation using those Uyghurs - as Erdogan has done in Turkey against Assad - there are 20000 of them […] in Syria right now for example. That's why the Chinese might be deploying military forces to Syria in the very near future to take care of those Uyghurs that Erdogan invited in. Well the CIA would want to destabilize China and that would be the best way to do it. To form an unrest and to join with those Uyghurs in pushing the Han Chinese in Beijing from internal places rather than external.
