It's really as simple as, they can go back to China if they want to disrespect the hosting culture with no proof or evidence to support their claims, just taunt and probably mob or bully others who've been probably through horrors caused by the very good CCP, then play the victim card. If the USA did something wrong doesn't mean you can do something less wrong than the USA and get away with it. it's exactly like saying well, I should be able to kill someone and not go to prison because you know there are people who torture others before they kill them and they get away with it. Also one should really keep a good will when speaking about the CCP because authoritarian regimes are usually very transparent and honest, not to mention that they care a lot when it comes to human rights. "Foreign student enjoying western campus culture doesn't mean they also get brainwashed endorse western foreign policy instead of their domestic ones. Especially when the gap in perspective is so antithetical." I think you don't have to be brainwashed, all you have to do is to respect and disagree without trying to intimidate others, maybe debate and bring evidence to support your claims, but trying to blindly intimidate someone who's been through hardships when they speak out is really the unethical part. |

Why? PRC nationalist paid ~50K for the right to play campus idpol. US free to reduce enrollment of PRC students or academic exchanges. They're already shutting down Confucius Institutes. But if US wants to braindrain PRC talent, they're going to have to deal with the diasphora drama (like they do every other beefing groups), because they lost the soft power to convince PRC students CCP bad.
>something less wrong
Well within CCP framework, Sinicizing XJ is not so much less wrong as more right. It's not contextualized in western "human rights" preoccupation with negative rights, but ensuring positive rights by integrating restive minority into broader economic development so they wouldn't have to cling to destructive religious impulses. Enter reducation, poverty alleviation. Plus entire stopping terrorism thing. That's not even about morality, a government with state capacity to stop such things, will. Political suicide / lose legitimacy otherwise.
>respect
Some ideological chasms are so broad there's really no compromise or respect. You can't "respect" someone alleging your country is committing genocide when you firmly believe it's not. Nor will PRC students get the forum to host "genocide denial" debates on campus. In lieu of that, the response is to react to people whose position abursdly antithetically to theirs with incivility. Groups on campus and in broader society go full stupid over divisive idpol issues all the time, this is simply one that seperates PRC nationalists students with almost everyone else. Like how are they suppose to react when they paid 50k to goto a school that entertains, in their perspective, yellow peril. US/PRC drama means this issue gets much much traction vs other diasphora campus politics, even in places like HN. Chinese students have right to gelopolitical idpol over dumb shit.
