  It's shocking to westerners but this is the nature of indoctrination. Also, note how OP compared tianxia to manifest destiny instead of lebensraum.

  The reason is because for the vast majority of Chinese, they are as likely to end up in a re-education camp as an American is to end up at a Chicago black site prison.

    ...and the only reason why that's true is because (1) the "vast majority" are not Uyghurs and (2) (rightfully) fear their tyrannical government and take care to not offend it. If you changed the criterion to "likely to end up in [bad place] if they said stuff their government didn't like", the likelihood for Chinese citizens would be multiple orders of magnitude higher than for Americans.
