However, that does not mean one simply gets to transpose their personal agendas (however worthy) onto the Trump administration.
Trump told you what he cares about, and it's not Uighurs.

"But Dmitry, China is being confronted that's what matters here."
No it isn't.
Confrontation in and of itself doesn't achieve anything on the things you care about, unless it encourages a change in Chinese behavior. Here. on most issues, a change isn't even being asked for.
