Because everyone forgot to be mad about the Uyghurs somehow.

If the Uyghurs had been on the other side of the China/Afghanistan border, we'd be gasoline bombing them while half the nation clapped.

On the off chance that China does a Capitalist Revolution and all those western business interests discover they've got an opportunity to strip mine Hongshan Mountain for precious metals, its going to be Iraq War Redux over there inside a hot minute.

Even now, folks from the NBA to Hollyweird have decided actually China is very cool and good, so long as they can keep selling jerseys and toys to middle-income kids and box seat tickets to traveling executives. All this shit is forever about the money. You can stack the corpses to the moon and it'll still be about the money.
