While some of the 37 are despicable human rights abusers themselves most represent a cross section of the Third World and most of the Islamic countries seem to be supporting the Chinese efforts to restore social peace in Xinjiang. The 22 also have some despicable human rights abusers (the 22 represent the US and its European allies as well as some others). The US has set up child concentration camps along its southern border and many of the 22 have racist immigration policies against refugees fleeing war and famine in Africa and the Middle East that have resulted in thousands of drowning deaths in the Mediterranean. The 37 represent, by and large, those who think the Chinese are handling threats of religious fundamentalism and violence in Xinjiang in a rational and humane way and object to the US and its allies trying politicize the issue and misrepresent the facts.
