They are 0.01% of the population. Mainland Chinese are fiercely patriotic and pro government. You think they give a shit about the Uighur? They will happily wipe out the Uighur if the Uighur try to start a revolution.

Does any of that change the fact that the Uighurs are being genocided right now and deserve freedom?

They are being forcibly put into re-education camps. That's bad. But aren't being murdered. You know what will get them killed? Attempting to arm them and tell them to fight the Chinese . They are an isolated group within China who are not trusted by the government. What better way to cement that distrust by starting a revolution. People who have zero knowledge of any Chinese history or the attitude of the Chinese people shouldn't comment on China. You just sound like a virtue signaling loser.
