The CPC could give up and surrender Xinjiang to ISIS. This option condemns millions of people to living under a fundamentalist Islamic State, including many non-Muslims and non-extreme Muslims. This option creates a CIA-aligned state on the border, and jeopardises a key part of the Belt and Road initiative, which is designed to connect landlocked countries for development and geopolitical positioning. This option also threatens the CPC’s legitimacy, as keeping China together is a historical signifier of the Mandate of Heaven.
You dont think “many non-Muslims and non-extreme Muslims” could resist this on a grassroots level - especially if given humanitarian support from China?
“your country” is why I have an issue here. The CPC doesn’t own China. The people of China own China and if they have issues with the government their needs should be met.

The American South is a region filled with religious extremists, some of whom have already radicalized to the point of committing acts of terrorism. Should we make it its own country and fund their schools to boot? Is that likely to improve the situation or make it worse?
you can make the same argument for Hamas in Palestine and Herzbollah in Lebanon. Occupying territories which do not want to be occupied is imperialism.
Edit: sorry, I read “American South” as in South America rather than Southern USA. In the case of USA, yes an ideal leftwing government in my world would help fund a grassroots leftist resistance for BIPOC rather than forced re-education camps for poor working class white people
leave Xinjiang as an autonomous zone, continue to offer voluntary education and work programs and welcome any refugees to China. Carrot vs stick.
Do you really think that’s what would happen if Xinjiang was given autonomy?
Yes

So the plan is to slice up your country knowing that a civil war is likely in the breakaway state? This is getting better and better.

There is a difference between giving the Palestinians their country back vs making a new country to placate religious extremists
Is the U.S. occupying Mississippi and Alabama?
