Silent on Suffering: Pakistan and Bangladesh's Strategic Silence on China's Uyghur Muslims

The Observer Post reports that Pakistan and Bangladesh, despite championing Muslim causes, have remained silent on China's treatment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang. This reflects prioritizing strategic interests over religious solidarity, with both countries heavily reliant on Chinese investment and support. Human rights groups and the UN have documented abuses, but China denies wrongdoing. Other Muslim nations have also avoided criticizing China, highlighting the influence of economic ties and geopolitical realities on diplomatic behavior.
