Evidence

“China has the right to carry out antiterrorism and deextremization work for its national security,” the Saudi crown prince said on Chinese television when asked about the Uighur Muslims. Yet international observers were not fooled. It was clear that by asserting that the millions of Chinese Uighurs were all terrorists—a claim as absurd as it was sinister—he was giving his blessing to China’s awful policies. — Arsalan Iftikhar, Fear of a Muslim Planet_ Global…, 172
