Actually, the Chinese do want them. But as prisoners, to be tried for treason/sedition/terrorism. The US demurs, because it 'fears the Uighurs will be tortured and generally mistreated'. The Chinese scoff and call that fear 'rich', seeing that the Uighurs were all this while resident at Gitmo!!
So this is a case of the US govt telling the rest of the world - do what I say, not what I do!!!
