    And here I am condemning both Israel and China (for the Uyghurs, Hongkong and Taiwan), as well as Spain (treatment of Catalonia) and Russia (Crimea).

    Either you are pro population (in this case you should take my stance) or pro government (in which case you should take the opposite position).

        After 2014, yes. But prior to that the public opinion was split. Also I didn’t mean it to be annexed by Russia, but independent. Allowing population to vote to be part of another country always has the risk, that the other state tries to influence the election. For example what Russia did in 2008–2014, which of course will influence the decision or the people.

        Therefore only separation should be allowed, not annexation.

      Why do you think Muslim countries have a positive view of China’s response to dealing with Uyghur radicalism, but they also support Palestine’s statehood? Why do you think the countries that condemn China about ethnic Muslims DO NOT recognize Palestinian statehood?

      Seems like an odd juxtaposition unless the Uyghur stuff is anti-China propaganda originating from a single biased source, Adrian Zenz, that doesn’t have any expertise to make these claims.
