Cole Hudson I wonder if there is any plausible scenario wherein someone would intervene on behalf of the Uighurs. To my mind, short of overt aggression on the part of the Chinese, I can't see anyone doing anything. Maybe the Israelis? China hardly even has the capacity, or need, for expansion so it would have to be 'unprovoked'. Proactive foreign policy just doesn't seem likely in the next 4 years.
