The Han have only really been moving into Northern Xinjiang, which is mostly rural and uninhabited. And this has been for a really long time. Almost all of the uyghur live in the Tarim Basin. The Kuomintang moved Han into the same area. The Qing moved Han into Xinjiang.
Nothing has ever happened. The Uyghur continue to exist.
And nowadays the Han are struggling to populate their own cities because the birth rate is in the toilet, so I think that this will cease to be a thing in the near future.
They exist but the percentage of their population in their own homeland continues to decrease as more Han move to Xinjiang (East Turkestan) and get preferential treatment over the Uyghurs. Just because China is opposed to America doesn't mean you need to make ridiculous denials on their behalf like this.
What I said isn't inaccurate though. Most of the Han have been moving to the north, where they don't live. I never said it isn't happening, I said that this has constantly been a thing, since a very long time ago.
>and get preferential treatment over the Uyghurs
Them and the Hui have been a problematic minority since forever. They're China's version of the Chechens. Why the fuck would you not give your own people preferential treatment when the other group of people has constantly been a problem. Especially when that minority is getting money for their independence from fucking Al Qaeda. That's literally the exact problem that the west has. Granted, the Uyghurs are actually native, but so are the Han. And if I were the Chinese government, I, too, would favor the Han over the people that commit suicide bombings on a regular basis.
