The only countries who think China is in a “war against Muslims”, are countries like the US, UK, and AUS, who’ve spent the last 50+ years bombing and invading Muslim-majority countries. Also, literally zero muslim majority countries oppose China’s Xinjiang policies:
.-
A New York Times “expose” of re-education centers in Xinjiang lied and mistranslated every claim.
-
Thousands of Muslims from the Uyghur province make Hajj Pilgrimage yearly. 11k Chinese Muslims travel from Xinjiang on free chartered flights to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj, in 2019.
-
Egyptian media delegates provide a detailed insight of the situation in Xinjiang
-
Reddit holds an AMA for an “Uyghur Activist”, who turns out to be Rushan Abbas, a CIA agent who worked for Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Justice, and various U.S. intelligence agencies, and even worked at Guantanamo bay, the US muslim torture camp. 1 2

Despite claims of “erasing Uyghur culture”, they stated: “I did not find any instance of forced labor or cultural and religious repression. The imams we met at the mosques and the students and teachers at the Xinjiang Islamic Institute told us that they enjoy freedom in practicing Islam and that the Chinese government extends support for maintenance of mosques all over Xinjiang. […]The most visible sign of protection of Uyghur culture by the government is the government-run bilingual kindergarten schools where children learn Putonghua as well as Uyghur language and culture from a very young age.”
I think the problem is not unique to Muslims, but all religious groups have suffered under Chinese communist rule. It’s no matter what other countries do or say because that is irrelevant.
I agree that the situation for Uyghurs may not be as bleak as some people portray it, but China’s policy towards them has a lot of problems, and I would say is unacceptable. As a Muslim I’d never willingly subject myself to CCP rule. Unfortunately, the fact that Xinjiang is a part of China is a reality they I don’t think can be changed. I sincerely hope things improve for them in the future, one way or another.
I realized I probably linked you too much to read through, on why Muslim-majority countries side with China and agree with its de-radicalization policies against wahhabist terrorism. At the very least you should read this thread on religious freedoms in China, as its one of the most religiously diverse nation on earth.
