Finding an unbiased take on China's treatment of the Ughyurs is neigh impossible. However, reading Chinese law involving the state's legal definition of extremism does not inspire much confidence.

Did the French infiltrate the Chinese government? A lot of the attitudes towards Ughyurs really is reminiscent of the Western attitudes towards the Natives in the Americas. The Europeans saw themselves as culturally superior and civilized, so they took it upon themselves to "educate" the indigenous. Do you believe that there exists any peoples that are truly above some sort of exceptionalism, or is this false pride just a part of human nature?
Granted, even the video linked and its evidence were from five years ago. Lots might have changed since then.
