Perfect theory exists in the frictionless plane of the internet, and only there. The real world is not perfect. China has to do something to protect their country, because people exist that want to foment unrest and kill people. How do you deal with that?
Dealing with ethnic, national, and religious divisions is a key part of the project of building socialism, and something that can only be dealt with on a proletarian, socialist basis. The idea is to raise conditions for all workers by involving all workers, regardless of background, in the project of socialist transformation via working class control of the economy and society.
China is obviously not resolving these divisions on a socialist basis, which is why, sensationalized takes on genocide aside, you can see the Uighur minority facing real inequality, discrimination, and degrees of repression in China. This is much like how minority groups face inequality, discrimination, and repression in other capitalist nations. Capitalism breeds these problems by pitting worker against worker, and the dominant social/productive relations in China are capitalist.
And there are concrete examples of this question being resolved from the USSR—it’s not a question that exists only on the frictionless plane of the internet.

Then doing nothing, allowing terrorism (including targeting LGBT) and conservative subjugation of women, is a greater-evilism.
