>truly multicultural Well that was the old minority policy, based on Soviet o'blasts. Relatively hands off autonomous governance with affirmative action privileges. And it failed to stop terrorism and seperatism. So enter a new minority policy of sinicizing / integrating everyone like a US melting pot instead of a Canadian salad bowl. It’s the alternative, and it’s mostly working on the ground. As for the big question: >How long do I have to go on before you decide the price is too high Start with understanding the list of western grievances =/= PRC grievances. Apart from Tiananmen, your list is basically populist repression the average Chinese supports. PRC repressing less than 1% of population to control restitive territories that constitutes ~50% of PRC land mass while essentially stopping terrorism and seperatism is very easy political calculus. The reality is most countries repress more people, especially minorities to ensure security and serenity. This isn't whataboutism, it's important to understand from CCP perspective current repression isn't remotely a high price to pay. Rather the opposite, cracking down on groups who have been historically "ungrateful" about their "privileges" are populist moves.
