Pakistan, China's closest and most economically dependent ally, has asked China to ease restrictions on Muslims, and Uighurs living in America are beginning to condemn China's human rights abuses.
The crisis in Xinjiang should be interpreted more as an assault on basic freedoms and the expansion of a totalitarian tyranny than an expression of ethnic superiority.
The human rights abuses in Xinjiang are strikingly similar to what's been happening elsewhere in China since Xi assumed office.
While more than one fifth of all arrests in China in 2017 occurred in Xinjiang, arbitrary detention is a major problem throughout China and appears to be on the rise.
China has lately moved closer to totalitarianism than at any time since the Mao era.
Repression in Xinjiang is more intense because the threat of regional instability is greatest there since its people have separatist sentiments, and have different ethnicities, religions, and identities.
Since 2012, China has in many ways become more like North Korea than America, creating a highly sophisticated system of neo-totalitarianism, with the crisis in Xinjiang a demonstration of that dystopia.
