I'm comparing our oil grab under various guises, vs Chinas attempts at unification. When both are causing murder, why is oil better than submission?

Calling the interning of over 1 million people an attempt at unification is blatant astroturfing and is wildly and viciously wrong.

I believe OPs reference to the Uighurs was to their placement in concentration camps. Calling that an “attempt at unification” is generous at best.
