IIRC it was mostly Arab nations supporting the PRC.

The Uighurs consider themselves Turks. Turks, Arabs, and Persians don't particularly get along with each other.

Syria, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Somalia, Iraq, etc. None of these are Arab, you had every corner of the Muslim world unite for this.

The only signatory who retracted their stance was Qatar, who are Arab. The only people who signed the letter criticizing China are western nations and Japan. It is a little sensationalist to call it a Muslim genocide when Yunnan is carrying on business as usual. It's really more of an ethnic cleansing thing.

Also small nitpick: they are Turkic, not Turks. The latter is a nationality.

We should take the word of these countries that are happy to kill its own citizens that China is actually blameless on human rights abuses, I mean if they have no problem torturing and cleansing their own, surely they will take a principled stance against the same happening elsewhere to people they don't care about at all?

Also half of those are Arab.

Syria is Northern Levantine. Iraq is Mesopotamian. Egypt is Egyptian. They are about as Arabic as Palestine or Israel. Just because a country speaks Arabic does not mean it is Arab. Arab is a genetic cluster, and the people of the nations you named are much closer to Turks (both genetically and culturally, with the exception of Egypt) than they are to Arabs.

This is not to say they are Turkics, they are seperate ethnicities in their own right, having their own phenotypes and haplogroups exclusive to their populations.

I dunno I'm pretty sure next time my Iraqi bud refers to himself as being Arab and from an Arab country he'd be pretty annoyed if someone Well Akshully'd him because he has the wrong haplogroup or something.
