If the reports are true, then what's happening in Xinjiang is horrible. However, if you look at the comments section in this site you can tell that that's not the real reason they're being posted. Posts of these kind are posted primarily as rhetorical fodder, and in the case of this article, seeks to paint all Chinese as [sic] "unformed" racists. Notice how the author generalizes both Uighers and Han from maybe one or two meetings. Notice how when describing the government, the article claims that the people "forced the hand of a hard-line government".
In the other thread one user is now advocating for the expulsion of Han people(notice this implicit conflation of Han with Chinese, imagine claiming only Whites are American) living in the region, and claiming that they "are not innocent".
If you actually speak with anyone in China, you'll realize that Middle Eastern culture is held to a high regard, and that the majority of people are more sympathetic towards the Uighers. The more this tragedy gets used as political fodder, the harder it is to voice domestic opposition. Contrary to popular belief the CCP is not omnipotent, and the rest of the world does not need to be invaded to progress.
Of course the commenters on this site would rather everyone in China whether they be Han, Uigher, Manchu, or Mongol, be "liberated" Iraq style.
I understand why people outside the U.S. (assuming you refer mainly to American commenters) could develop this impression, but in my experience the situation is quite the opposite.
Anecdotally, I’m an American with family in government/the military and friends of every political stripe. Nobody I know thinks the Iraq invasion was a good idea or would want to repeat it elsewhere.
I found it carefully written and well worth sharing.
