Why aren't you bored about Muslims in China, asks  US 

China is an all-wear ally of Pakistan. Beijing has often come to rescue of Islamab by trying to scuttle global efforts to impose sanctions against Pakistan-based terrorists like Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar and Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed.

China has been providing financial help to cash-strapped Pakistan to overcome its ecomic woes. "I would like to see same level of concern also expressed about Muslims who are being detained in Western China, literally in concentration-like conditions. And so being concerned about human rights of Muslims does extend more broly than Kashmir, and you've seen ministration very involved here during UN General Assembly and trying to shine a light on horrific conditions that continue to exist for Muslims throughout China."
