Fair enough. May I respectfully ask if you yourself, as a Chinese, have reached out to any Uighur, Tibetan, or other minorities to understand their viewpoint and explore if this is a reality being reported or just propaganda?
- theseadroid 8y agoI have very limited interactions with Uighur or Tibetan so I said I'm not expert on the issue. This guy has traveled in the Xinjiang/Xizang area and might give you some basic idea what that region is like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5t2sLWuYyc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5t2sLWuYyc (the first video of his travel within China videos, there's no playlist I think) If you know enough Mandarin, you can probably find some Uighur Tibetan people on Chinese social media like douban.com Also some westerners live in the Lijiang / Dali region where there are many Tibetans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijiang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijiang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dali_City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dali_City I've never been but heard they are nice to visit.

- yorwba 8y agoSocial media may be subject to surveillance and censorship, but that doesn't stop people from discussing openly about posts being "harmonized" or certain keywords being "sensitive". There's no reason to suppose that finding genuine Uyghurs or Tibetans on there would be impossible.
