have you talked to any Chinese people and how many of them oppose this reeducation of entire religions? I'm just curious whether that will still happen in your planned democratic China.

In a democratic China the Uighurs will have representatives. If they don't, it's not democratic yet. Ask other democratic nations if they can get away with voting for systematic oppression of a people via a vote. Historically, decentralizing power (i.e. via democracy) leads to less shittiness for more people. In any case, what possible reason would the average Chinese person have to systematically oppress the Uighurs or falun gong? They're only oppressed now because their religion poses a threat to the cultural control the Party exerts over the people. In a democracy, that control vanishes.

  >In any case, what possible reason would the average Chinese person have to systematically oppress the Uighurs or falun gong? This question is crucial to indicate that you have no idea about ordinary Chinese people. You need to sit down with some Chinese to talk about it if you are really interested. So I encourage you to find some first gen immigrant from mainland China currently living in SFBA. It wont be hard to find them. I can even direct you to relevant social media sites if you like.

Could be argued that anyone who watches propaganda on Chinese TV daily isn't particularly fit to have that discussion. It's not like in the West where people are critical of this kind of stuff. They've really excelled at developing a "hive mind" mentality with what the state media put out.

  Assuming you are not living in China, could you please go ask some Chinese around you? There are really plenty of Chinese living abroad.
