“I’d like to point out that history rarely had any play in matters of sovereignty. For example, it can be safely said that India has a history that is completely different than that of Britain, yet that didn’t stop Britain from taking over India. I think that politics play a bigger role in sovereignty than anything (big surprise). So I think that it’s rather pointless for pro-China or pro-Uighur supporters to drag out arguments based on history, and instead focus on things such as human right abuses, etc.“
