I should probably check to see what South China Morning Post has to say about it. (lemmy.world)

I didn't know the concept of human right was not consensual, thanks. Despite you opening that topic, I notice that you still use the concept in your argument, you must have a personal definition in your mind.

If not, then we are OK with them violating human rights (and women rights specifically, too)?

That:

the Islamists, which is significant part of Muslim population

is a strong statement that requires a very large study across the very diverse muslim populations in the world. Gonna need a citation on this one.

And most westerners that accuse China of human right abuses are equally not okay with islamists' abuses, so there's no dichotomy.

The definition of who Islamist is is often vague so providing exact number there is difficult, however well more than 50% of Muslim wants Sharia law to be the law of the land: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-beliefs-about-sharia/

When you say “are equally not ok” when did the last time you hear criticism of Islam? And also if is not China is simply doing re-education to remove this component of the culture? They are doing forcefully, sure, but people are not going to give it up voluntary.
