@eeyore345 China is providing free education to Uighurs and job skills training to prepare them for the workforce. They are being taught Mandarin Chinese (which is world's most spoken language by number of speakers) and this will greatly increase their job opportunities much more than their Native language (which by the way, is still being taught in Chinese schools) And they are been steered away from extremist thoughts and this is also facilitating their assimilation into Chinese culture.
Look at the West and they are bending over backwards to accommodate Muslims immigrants. Refugees are fleeing their own conflict-ridden Islamic countries and flooding the Western countries like America, Britain, Germany, etc, and then they are under little pressure to adapt to their predominantly Christian host countries, much to the chagrin of local Westerners.
Instead of assimilating into Western culture, these Muslim immigrants continue their traditions like Muslim men marrying multiple wives, and Muslim women wearing headveils in public, and secretly, many Westerners are angry at this, but they can't voice their honest opinions for fear of being labelled "racists" (even though Islam is not a race) or "Islamophobes" because of politically correctness culture.

@ebolmao4129 Statistically speaking, as the world's most populous country, China has the most brainpower to come up with plans and ideas, as well as the most manpower to implement said plans and turn ideas into reality. Larger populations have more geniuses, and China has 4 geniuses to every 1 American genius. Source: China's Statistical Advantage: iiipublishing.com/blog/2018/06/blog_06_07_2018.html
Taken from the above:
Consider two standard bell curves, say one with 1.4 billion people and one with 326 million. The number of average people in China is very close to 4.3 times the number of average people in the U.S. That is also true for those in the top 2% say, which produces scientists, the best business and government people, and the most competent computer programmers. Even there, China would have a 4.3 to 1 advantage, which would be quite an advantage, everything else being equal.

@Burtocd If you look at thousands of years of human history, authoritarianism and oligarchies have been the most prevalent political systems that humans adopted. Political power was oftentimes held not in the hands of the masses, but concentrated in the hands of the few elites, be it nobles (aristocracy) or priests (theocracy) or kings and emperors (monarchy). Its because such political systems were stable and simply because they worked. The elites were often well-educated and politically savvy enough to make decisions regarding the country's future, while the ignorant masses were kept far away from politics.
Whereas democracy has a long history of failure. Athenian democracy failed, Spartan democracy failed, Greek democracy failed, even Republic of Rome fell. These proto-democracies weren't successful, and neither was democracy popular elsewhere outside of Greece. Modern Western democracy is separate, and it only has a history of 100-200 years, so that does not mean it will be successful in the future.

@sneeringimperialist6667 "神州 Shenzhou what about Tibet?"
Under the Dalai Lama (Tibetan leader) rule, Tibet was brutal theocracy, where 95% of the population are slaves, while the remaining 5% elites were slave-owners. Tibetan mountainous soil was infertile, rainfall was scarce in the Himalayas, so the slaves had to work hard to feed the population. Starvation was commonplace, theft of food was punished by amputation, torture and even skinning. There is this Tibetan drum called damaru that consists of 2 human skulls, a drum skin made from human skin, and a drumstick made from human bone. The Dalai Lama was worshiped and his followers fight for the right to consume his saliva, his urine and even his feces, because he was seen as a divine vessel.
After Tibet returned to Chinese rule, Chinese workers began rapidly modernizing Tibet, building roads, railways, highways, streetlamps, running gas and water pipelines, electricity cables, as well as modern technology like cars, appliances, telephones, computers, the Internet, WiFi, online shopping (like Taobao), and so on. Under Chinese rule, the first Tibetan universities were opened in Lhasa, offering courses in both Tibetan and Mandarin Chinese. Hydroelectric dams were built in Tibet to provide renewable energy to houses. The Qinghai-Lhasa railway (world's highest elevation railway) was built to connect the normally isolated Tibet to the rest of the world. Tibet can now import food from the mainland and its population has since tripled from 1 million in 1952 to over 3 million today.
