Interestingly I just replied to someone else asking about minorities groups in China, you can find it just by searching for my handle. Long story short: It's fine to live in China as a minority group.

I've also expressed my opinion about some other issues like Xinjiang in another thread if you're interested:

I'm not saying there aren't tons of problems with Chinese government. But from the point of view of a Chinese citizen, the human right issues are mostly excuses that western media use to attack Chinese government; a lots of those are false claims; and even for the parts that'd be truth, it impacts very few amount of people and it's generally not a big concern for vast majority of people living in China no matter Han or not (Not saying violating human right is fine but the issue has much lower priority for most people)

> it impacts very few amount of people

To avoid continuing a flamewar we can just agree to disagree. Yes, Uighurs, Tibetians, and Falun Gong practitioners are minorities. The fact that they are minorities does not affect how I feel about the way they are treated.

There're tons of Uighurs, Tibetians living in peace in China. Plenty of them also live in the east part of China, and plenty of Han people live in Xinjiang and Tibet as well. Falun Gong is banned, yeah, and most Chinese would support that. The government has nothing against minority groups, but it would take actions if: they become a threat to public safety; they become extremists and possibly engage in terrorism, no matter which ethnic group they are; they try to separate part of China out of the country (that's a red line for the government); they attempt to overthrown the government (yeah that's another red line). I wouldn't say there're no wrong-doings when the government take actions, but it's certainly not a concern for most Chinese citizens.
