I utterly detest what China is doing to Muslims under its control in East Turkestan and elsewhere. I despise its enforced Godless ideology.
However, the current wave of Western and US sanctions with the demonisation of China, and concern for the Uighurs is not genuine.
Unrivalled political European White Supremacy has been the world order for centuries. Mostly built on colonial and imperial exploitation, the Western world has dominated economically through wars, bullying and imposition of its political order and institutions.
Today China represents the rise for the first time in centuries, of a non-white European superpower; built primarily on genuine economic and material development (albeit some colonialism), but not Western style exploitation. The Chinese world will be the world’s future superpower.
The White supremacist worldview finds the idea of a non-white superpower difficult to cope with. Just like they found the Ottoman State in the heart of Europe difficult to come to terms with. The result is the constant demonisation of China and sanctions, like they demonised the Ottoman state and still demonise Turkey.
This strategy started after the fall of Soviet communism, when US political/military strategy created the Yellow Peril of China and the Green Peril of Islam as it’s major future rivals and threats to it’s dominance, to be defeated (in the Reagan Era).
The world needs a non Western superpower. For the time being the Muslim world is in chaos. The Muslim world needs to define its own relationship with China and end its obsession with the West. This includes Muslim’s learning Chinese languages and carrying out dawah to Chinese people, and settling in the far east. It also means Muslim countries using their diplomatic and trading links to force the Chinese to end their barbaric and inhumane treatment of Uighur Muslims.
