You can not even ensure Kurds in Turkey to be "Kurd Turks" in the end.

The Uyghurs (/ˈwiːɡərz/; Uyghur: ئۇيغۇر, Уйғур‎, ULY: Uyghur [11] [ʔʊjˈʁʊː]; Old Turkic: ;[12] Chinese: 维吾尔族; pinyin: Wéiwúěr zú) are a Turkic ethnic group living in Eastern and Central Asia. Today, Uyghurs live primarily in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China, where they are one of 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities.

The ancient Uyghurs believed in Shamanism and Tengrism = Same religion as ancient Turks.

The Turkic people who moved into region in the 9th century brought with them their languages which slowly supplanted the original tongues of the local inhabitants. By the 11th century, it was noted by Mahmud al-Kashgari that the Uyghurs (of Qocho) spoke a pure Turkic language,

Tolerance is a good thing
So what if they are Uygurs they are still your citizens and i respect that 100%. As long as their rights and needs are met and respected as well as everyone in China.

That is going to change soon. In modern economy, reading a certain book all day and not learning the Chinese language will not get you too far

Who says they are reading one book all day? Where do you get this nonsense from

You don't live in China and probably never been there. How does one become successful by not learning the language but secluded all day studying religion?

You are exaggerating and generalizing
