I said china is a multi-ethnic nation unlike south korea, didn't I. I highly doubt tibetans or ugyhurs would celebrate going through 90s russian life.

Tibet and Xinjiang ( and to a limited degree hong kong ) are interesting because europe in particular wants to use them to break china. And interestingly enough, the both tibet and xinjiang were invaded by foreign powers ( britain and soviet union ) in order to destabilize china. Both times, most tibetans and uyghurs sided with china.

My point is that most people just care about their well being. As long as they are getting wealthier, they don't care. If china's economic situation worsens dramatically, then I suspect things might be different. But I doubt any chinese citizens of any ethnicity wants their family to experience 90s russia or 1800s china. Just like no one here wants to go through a great depression ( which was mild compared to what 90s russia and 1800s china experienced ).

The Uyghurs siding with China was before China started rounding them up and putting them in camps. The Uyghurs now live under the worst dystopian future humanity could envisage -- Checkpoints with phone scans, mandatory government spyware that scans for illicit content, deep facial recognition and social profiling EVERYWHERE. Its a different time, and a different China. I hope the Uyghur rise up and smash this. I wouldn't bet on it happening.
