They didn't think it would apply to them.

It's like how many minorities vote conservative. They feel like they made it, so they feel they'll have less competition if they support bigotry against other minorities. The rich and powerful are turning the poors against each other without fearing repercussions for their actions because not enough people will hold them accountable.

Let's say a muslim student complains about Saudi prince MBS being a butcher. Could the KSA government have the U.S. track him and arrange a chop talk? Seems like an area for abuse.

This could happen in the United States. There have been cases where Uyghurs detained in Arab countries have been returned to China..

Saudi Arabia, a key ally of China in the Arab world, has shown support for Beijing’s crackdown on Uighur culture in the past. During a 2019 visit to China, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s de facto ruler, told his hosts: “We respect and support China’s rights to take counter-terrorism and de-extremism measures to safeguard national security.”

The Arab World Isn’t Just Silent on China’s Crackdown on Uighurs. It’s Complicit
