My partner is Lebanese and one issue that has consistently come up with any discussion of Marxism (and honestly the online left as a whole) is Uyghur genocide denial. Essentially, they see it as proof of (white) western leftists being hypocrites and having a glaring Islamophobia problem. I'm inclined to defer to them, but at the same time, I've found myself often politically aligning with MLs on other issues, and I know very little about Chinese internal politics or the Uyghurs myself, so I would greatly appreciate being able to get an understanding of what the ML perspective is.

Do you have more information on it being Wahhabist?

I have a friend who claims Uyghur genocide, and as a result supports the separatists, but hates Wahhabists so that might turn him around.

So here we have zionist western media saying there are 15000 Uyghurs living in Idlib. The entire thing about Wahhabism is that they murder/rape/enslave anyone who doesn't follow their brand of Islam.
