    The treatment of Uyghurs and the lack of reaction from the west makes me think WWII was really about money and not people.

      The Uyghur issue is on the other side of the world and entirely internal to China.

      WW2 was an active threat to the entirety of Europe, there wasn’t an option to ignore it. It was never a moral issue (to begin with) - plenty of Nazi supporters in Western nations. People don’t go to war over moral issues. It was because Nazi Germany was actively threatening the Western order. China’s oppression is domestic, and therefore easy to ignore.
