Pakistan, which is heavily invested in the CPEC, is strategically silent on Uyghur Muslims. This complicity risks undermining the OIC’s credibility as a champion of Muslim rights.
China has used its economic and political clout over the Islamic world to help Beijing consolidate its voice on the Uyghur issue on global fora, such as the United Nations.
Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy report accuses China of carrying out illegal detentions, sexual assault & forced sterilisation of Uyghurs, says it is in breach of 1948 UN Genocide Convention.

The crude flows in the Strait of Hormuz largely originate from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar and move to China, India, Japan and South Korea.

Somehow Gaza and the Palestinians have now totally eclipsed Xinjiang and the Uyghurs.
