Older article: Why do some Muslim-majority countries support China’s crackdown on Muslims? Western countries have condemned the repression in Xinjiang, but Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt praised China’s efforts to restore ‘safety and security. Statements from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and other Western nations — along with reports by experts have called Beijing’s crackdown against Muslims “genocide.” But what does the rest of the Muslim world say? In 2019, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt were among 37 countries that signed a letter to the U.N. Human Rights Council praising China’s “contribution to the international human rights cause” — with claims that China restored “safety and security” after facing “terrorism, separatism and extremism” in Xinjiang. When Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited China in 2019, he declared that “China has the right to take anti‐terrorism and de‐extremism measures to safeguard national security.” And a March 2019 statement by the Saudi‐based Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) praised China for “providing care to its Muslim citizens.”

Beyond simply praising China’s crackdown in Xinjiang, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE have arrested exiled Uyghur Muslims in their countries, deporting them back to China at Beijing’s request. Iran and China signed a sweeping 25-year oil-for-investment deal.

Qatar has not directly criticized Beijing but refused to sign the 2019 U.N. letter that other Muslim-majority countries signed in praise of China’s actions in Xinjiang. The Turkish government, which had accused China of genocide in 2009, later softened its stance. As Turkey becomes more economically dependent on China, some officials have denounced U.S. criticism of China’s policies in Xinjiang as “imperialistic.”

China has been able to align its hostility toward its Muslim population with the antipathy of these countries toward particular forms of political Islamism — ranging from mainstream political groups that want their governments to expand democracy, cut corruption and protect human rights, to more radical Islamist groups that denounce governments as apostates and puppets of the West. These are just the highlights. Joe Biden thinks he is leading the world.

“I spent more time with Xi Jinping of China than any world leader has — when I was Vice President and when I was out of the office for four years when I was a professor, and then, now, as President. Sixty-eight hours, in terms of on the telephone or in person with him.”

Was this not a problem? Even out of office. Why not charged?
