No one seems to have the Uyghurs' backs. How do we keep looking at millions of people being actively imprisoned and re-educated and say "But the supply chain."

Not surprising as many Muslim-majority countries also support China on the Uyghur genocide. As always in international relations, money and politics are what truly matter. Countries only care about human rights when it benefits them.
