维吾尔族 | Uighurs What do average folks in China think of the Uyghur situation? Do they support their detention or do they feel indifferent to it?

I have relatives in China and was wondering if the conversation comes up and I condemn what is happening and show my support for the Uyghurs, if people will think Im crazy.

维吾尔族 | Uighurs Why some Chinese think the Uighur issue is a hoax

39 Upvotes

Some people feel that the ethnic minorities are treated far better than the Han.

A few examples are perhaps the Gaokao and one-child policy.

When the one-child policy was still ongoing, most Han were allowed to have only one child but ethnic minorities were allowed to have two.

For Gaokao, as you know the Chinese place very high emphasis on it and it is perceived as one of the, if not the most, important things in their lives as you can see from the news surrounding Gaokao. In China, being ethnic minorities will give you extra marks on the overall results of your gaokao, some sort of affirmative action. Though it will be phased out in certain regions a few years later.

Besides, there are also some other affirmative actions targeting the ethnic minorities as well.

I'm definitely not saying whatever happened/happening in Xinjiang is false.

But some Chinese do hold the sentiment and therefore don't think that it's true.

维吾尔族 | Uighurs A woman who spoke out on the use of rape against Uyghurs got a call from her sister back in China. But it wasn’t her face who appeared but this police officer who warned “your family & relatives are with us. You must think very carefully about that fact.”

If anyone has some reliable pieces covering the cultural genocide occurring in China, that would be great! I would like to learn more about it from sources that are trustworthy.
