The same way the Red Indians disappeared from the USA.

The US should offer to take in the 1 million Uighurs so as to respect their right to harbour “strong religious views” and “politically incorrect” ideas on American soil.

No one should be surprised by repression of Uighurs. China's leaders intend "to disappear" Uighurs, just as the Manchu have "disappeared". China need not set up Nazi-style murder facilities. China takes a slower appraoch: Uighurs, who won't become atheists, will be denied jobs, education, and health care. Those, who resist strongly, will be killed. Others, who knuckle-under, will inter-marry. Over time, fewer and fewer will identify as "Uighur".
No one should be surprised by this policy. Over the "Gate of Heavenly Peace" hangs the portrait of Mao Zedong, a genocidal murderer. Many, who do business with or in China, ignore this. They should not.
What would be think of Germans, if a picture of the Nazi dictator - also a genocidal murderer - hung over the entrance to the Chancellor's office in Berlin?
