>Do other world powers not have the power to stop the genocide and concentration camps or do they just not care?

The realist answer: most leaders are eager to see the PRC securitization model work. Even if they don’t have the state capacity or ethnic mix to replicate. Most developing countries who still haven’t figured out their post colonial shitshow ethnic rivalries want what PRC is selling - turnkey safe/smart city solutions that can bring domestic serenity via technologic repression.

Majority of world powers simply did not eat the genocide/concentration camp propaganda. Plurality UN position still supports PRC actions in XJ as counterterrorism / deradicalization, which it is. From hundreds of terrorism attacks to 0. Obama got the Nobel Peace prize for worse. Second group = (mostly western led) block who characterize as crimes against humanity, which bluntly doesn't mean shit and isn't actionable. Finally the # of govs that formally characterize XJ as genocide has around flat earth level of support, augmented by flood of useful idiots who ate the propaganda who thinks not believing literal lying Pompeo initiated genocide propaganda narrative is insane.

Reality is PRC securitization of XJ, i.e. engineered mass cultural change (read: cultural genocide, which UN has no formal definition on) within one generation is something MANY still fractured countries are eager to see succeed because they are experiencing same issues with minority unrest on restive regions. Harsher reality is, forceful integration is essential 101 to building long term state capacity. Most countries would love to have US meltingpot or Canadian multiculturalism where state reap benefits from actual prior genocide by not harbouring potential existential internecine factionalism, while state does token effort to reconcile with apologia to minorities who can’t remember their culture let alone meaningfully coordinate.

PRC is delivering / showing model that does that in one generation. "So long" is less than decade from 2014 "strike hard" campaign that kick started securitization, PRC is zerg rushing western colonization in a fraction of time with fraction of suffering, and likely will integrate minorities long term. XJ mass internment phase has been over year+, small % of "problematic" individuals transferred to long term prison, this isn't a perennial US prison industrial complex that interns comparable % of minorities - 1/12 according to retarded Zenz estimates which is about lifetime chance for US blacks. Let that sink in. Most of XJ is just a heavy surveillance state now, and following trend in Tibet, most of Uyghurs will be relatively nationalized/secularized/adopt PRC islam in a couple generations. It's not nice, but it's nicer than actual genocide.
