China is using the Gaza crisis to position itself as a champion of the oppressed while committing severe human rights abuses against its own Muslim population, the Uyghurs.
The global indifference to the plight of the Uyghurs highlights a troubling double standard in international human rights politics, particularly concerning the comparative visibility of their struggle versus that of the Palestinians.
The situation of the Uyghurs is dire, facing mass detention, cultural assimilation, and population suppression, yet receives far less international attention than the Palestinian struggle.
Both the Palestinian cause and Uyghur plight are vital; however, the Uyghurs' suffering remains largely ignored, raising questions about the universality of human rights advocacy.
