What would be interesting to research about the Uyghurs in China?

Why are they being persecuted? would be a good research topic.

What is the history of this culture in China? Where did it come from, how did it arise, and how has it survived over the years? Why did they stay in China?

Aren’t they in northern China and actually are slave laborers?

How did they get converted to Islam, and what was their general belief system before converting to Islam?

What positive contribution to society do the Uyghurs bring to China?
You can have different subsections like:
Are they mostly laborers that keep factories running? Are there any inventions that can be traced to them? Is there something in their culture that can benefit everyone else?
What foods have they introduced into mainstream society?

Where did the name Uyghurs name come from? What does it mean?

Why Western liberals are so prepared to let them die.

Then there was the starvation policies he enacted against Haiti
