What's the ML perspective on Uyghurs? (lemmygrad.ml)

My partner is Lebanese and one issue that has consistently come up with any discussion of Marxism (and honestly the online left as a whole) is Uyghur genocide denial. Essentially, they see it as proof of (white) western leftists being hypocrites and having a glaring Islamophobia problem. I'm inclined to defer to them, but at the same time, I've found myself often politically aligning with MLs on other issues, and I know very little about Chinese internal politics or the Uyghurs myself, so I would greatly appreciate being able to get an understanding of what the ML perspective is.

You must be joking. We straight up have Muslims in both ProleWiki and lemmygrad and co. If we are calling those muslims radicals we are not "parroting conservative rhetoric" ffs do some investigation into what they are. ProleWiki is a multinational project that is not at all americKKKa or west centric at all.

ETIM are a bunch of CIA goons and radical salafoids and this whole Uyghur debacle also started as a complete fabrication. We have a livestreamed genocide from under the most apartheid genocidal white supremacist regime possible and you think China magically kept their "genocide" under wraps? Do you engage in the art of thinking, even if occasionally? Just the inconsistencies alone are egregious
