No there is no such attempt, lol.

Uyghur language is widely teached, is on the currency notes of the PRC, all public signs in Xinjiang are at least in Uyghur and Mandarin, Uyghurs are well represented in the arts, economy, and public life, hell Xinjiang is major tourist destination within China. Before Covid 300 million people visited each year.

The Uyghurs are one of the 56 recognized ands thus constitutionally protected minorities within the PRC. The PRC guarantees them everything the north american natives can only hope for.

I didn’t realize that the Uyghur language was an official language, and I didn’t know that ethnic groups have constitutional protections in China. I think a lot of the conclusions drawn from the video ignore the context that China has legal protections for languages and ethnic groups that places like the U.S. don’t.
