The Uyghurs are about to suffer the same fate historically as many troublesome minority groups worldwide have.
Assimilate, die or leave.
The technology available for surveillance and control is extreme. Just one example: if you want to buy a kitchen knife, it will be laser etched with your ID# and you cannot sell it, give it, or lose it.

Interesting.
A friend of mine accidently left a butter knife in her back pack in beijing which was found
going through the detectors/check point, in the subway...a while back...
They searched her bag, after she explained they recorded her name and ID number in a from and allowed her to pass
on to the subway..

The PRC will crank it up until it gets completely unbearable and then offer what I call the devil's bargain. "Yeah, you can leave, but you have to take your whole family with you, you may take nothing with you and you can never come back," ala the way the Soviets allowed jews to leave for Israel. In this case it would be for Turkey. The Turkish government might even get some cash out of the PRC in the deal as well.
Either way it solves the Uyghur problem in the eyes of the PRC.
If it reduces the Uyghur population to something like 6 million, or less, over time then you are talking Tibetan numbers without the difficult topography separating Xinjiang and China proper. Game over.
