> It's when you when you proactively encourage assimilation by intermarriage with Han Chinese

How is it encouraged? I was under the impression that Uyghurs and other minority peoples aren't considered to be desirable marriage partners by most Han Chinese.

Right now there's still a huge imbalance between men and women. While not ideal for Han Chinese, just being able to marry and have children makes intermarriage between other ethnic groups a necessity. When the end result is you have a family that more or less looks Han and is culturally Han, no one cares really about the means.
