We did have educational facilities. However, we never took away their ethnic identity or their right to practice their religion. Pakistan also never imprisoned their family members. Instead, we used the principles of Islam to educate them on how wrong their actions were and how they were being used by warlords for their own selfish interests. Winning the hearts and minds of the people is the way forward rather than using brute force on the entire population.
But what concerns most Pakistani's and Muslims, in general, is the CPC policy of restricting Muslims to practice their religion. When you stop Muslims from praying then you are infringing upon their basic rights as a follower of Islam. I don't know what the current true reality of Xinjiang is today. But the Chinese must realize religion is important to Muslims. No Muslim state (sensible) will question China's sovereignty of Xinjiang if it can provide a guarantee that Muslims can practice their religion freely. When I mean freely brother this includes being allowed to pray in a Mosque, reading the Quran and fasting. What this doesn't include is for a Muslim to seek independence when these sacred rights are protected.
It's actually forbidden to seek independence/rebel from an entity if that same entity gives you the freedom to practice your religion freely.
BUT the moment when Islam and it's practice are severely restricted... without any hope to lift the restriction then it's Halal to fight back till it's restored.
The Problem with China... is their thinking that Islam is like any other religion... or any other entity that with enough restriction or what else... is removable... They think it's Christianity/Buddhism/shinto etc.. and believe that Muslims are like those Chinese/Tibetans or Mongols who will just kneel and accept...
Even in their own History... their ancestors understood that after making the same mistake... that's why they were mostly open to let Muslim practice their religion... Heck Thanks to the Hui Muslims that they kept the Uighur ancestor to get deep inside China...
Every other Entity started by making that same mistake with Islam/Muslims... If ppl could open a book and read the Islamic/Muslim Dynamic under Slavinc rule and Byzantium rule... they will be surprised on how Non-Muslim Kings.. used to let Muslim practice freely in hope to maintain their support in Internal peace and Wars (something they didn't do with other religious groups)...
But What can you do... Every new Gen think they know better than the previous one... So let them get burn and maybe they will understand... as their forefathers did...
