Its a preconceived notion that democracy is the best form of governance. Look at ROC, South Korea and Singapore for example. ROC has been ruled by authoritarian single-party Kuomingtang (Nationalist) for almost its entire life, and KMT was successful in developing Taiwan to what it is today. Only in 2016, did another party like DPP took over KMT. Would Taiwan be where it is today if not for KMT?
South Korea had the dictator Park Chung Hee, who led a period of rapid economic growth in South Korea, until 1979, and despite his controversial dictatorship, Park has been ranked by the public as the greatest South Korean president for his contributions. Would South Korea be where it is today if not for Park?
Singapore has been ruled by single-party authoritarian party (PAP) for its entire life, for over 50 years since its founding as a nation. The first PM of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, ruled with an iron fist, but managed to turn the country from small fishing village into 1st world economy. Would Singapore be where it is today if not for PAP and Lee Kuan Yew?
The success of these countries could be attributed to the fact that single party authoritarian governments can make long-term plans, not short term plans. For example, Chinese government has been ruled by communist party for over 60 years, and they can make long-term 5-year plans, 10-year plans, 20-year plans, to map out China's future in 2020, 2030, 2050, etc. Democratic parties have limits (like USA having 4-8 years term limit) so at the most they can only make short term plans, because there's no guarantee that they will be in power after their term is over.

@wynnhorton1208 Native Americans are also a backwards lot, but Caucasian Americans still integrate them into American culture isn't it? And leaving the Uighurs alone and walling Xinjiang off doesn't solve the problem, instead it probably exacerbate the situation, by allowing Xinjiang to become festering haven for Islamic radicals, in which to launch terrorist attacks against the mainland. So why should China follow your suggestion?
And just because Tibetans are not Han, does not mean that they aren't Chinese citizens. Look at America and USA has Caucasian Americans (white), African Americans (black), Latin Americans (brown), Asian Americans (yellow) and Native Americans (red) and they are all Americans. Similarly, China has over 50 ethnic groups including Han, Tibetan, Uighur, Manchu, Mongolians, and even some Koreans in Northeastern China. But as long as they are born on Chinese soil, they are all Chinese nationals isn't it?

World Peace? China today is currently at peace and not at war with any country (since our last major conflict in 1979) and instead of making war, China is investing in developing countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger, being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, etc, even in the 21st century. USA is enacting regime change by bombing those countries and cutting off their "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place. Now USA is targeting Assad of Syria and Maduro of Venezuela.

@ezmode946 Modern China was built by the sweat, blood, tear and sacrifice of the Chinese people and our government, to turn China from dirt-poor, war-torn starving country in the past, into a modern economic powerhouse, the world's factory (Made in China), a growing scientific and technological power, protected by world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army, and China today has strong global prescence as well as being influential player of world politics.
And it's all been achieved under CCP leadership, which the Western anti-Communists been constantly denouncing all the time. So why continue to believe the Western propaganda, when China is thriving under CCP leadership?

@drpk6514 China today is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe.
Whereas the United States is warmonger, being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, etc even in the 21st century. The USA is bombing those Middle Eastern countries and destroying lives and property (Iraq Body Count Project reported some 200,000 civilian deaths) and leaving families broken, jobless and homeless so many of them flock to join the terrorist's cause.
Why don't you open your eyes to the true contributors to terrorism? China is doing the world a favour by preventing these Uighurs from joining terrorist cause and can't you see it?

@drpk6514 You keep on repeating that people hate China, then where's your proof? According to World Tourism Rankings, China is world's 4th most visited country, after France, Spain and the United States, seeing some 60.7 million international tourists in 2017. Source: World Tourism Rankings wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tourism_rankings
China is also the most popular Asian tourist destination surpassing even other Asian destinations like Japan, Korea, India, Thailand, Singapore, etc.
So why do you keep on claiming that people hate China? Where's your proof?

@cx9882 That's not the same as wearing Muslim headveil which can obscure facial identification at checkpoints. Even many Western countries banned the Muslim headveil too in their countries, so why can't China do too? Source: Hijab by country wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijab_by_country
-Austria: In 2017, a legal ban on face-covering Islamic clothing was adopted. Headscarves were also banned in 2019 from primary schools. In 2019, Austria banned the hijab in schools for children up to ten years of age.
-Belgium: As of 2015, Belgium has specific bans on face-covering dress, such as the Islamic niqab or burqa.
-Bulgaria: In 2016, a ban on the wearing of face-covering Islamic clothing in public was adopted
-Kosovo: Since 2009, the hijab has been banned in public schools and universities or government buildings.
-Denmark: In 2018, the Danish government passed a law prohibiting people to wear "attire and clothing masking the face in such a way that it impairs recognizability".

@KobeBeefBryan About Chinese immigration to U.S, China has world's largest population and there's a possibility that not enough resources, not enough schools, not enough jobs for every single person in China. With such high student population, competition for top schools and higher education is fierce and intense here in China. Some students unable to qualify for local university so they may choose to study abroad in Western countries (especially if their parents have $$$). Some graduates unable to find a job in China, so they may seek employment opportunities outside of China.
That's why your Western schools and universities are positively flooded with Chinese students, competing with your local students in tests, exams, for university places and even job offers when they graduate. If they can't find a job in your country, they are always welcome to come back to China (thus saving China the resources needed to train this student to university level) and bringing foreign knowledge and technology to our shores.
If they managed to find a job in your country, they are depriving a local graduate of a job, and if they rise to high position in corporate or government sector, they may be approached by the Chinese Communist party as a potential spy in your country.
Whichever way you look at it, China wins.

@VeenSauce said "Mainland china will always struggle to be as innovative with a boot on its people's back."
As the world's most populous country, statistically speaking, China has the most brainpower to come up with plans and ideas, as well as the most manpower to carry out said plans and turn ideas into reality. Larger populations have more geniuses. Larger populations have more geniuses, and since China's population is 4x that of USA, there should be 4 Chinese geniuses to every 1 American genius.
Source: China's Statistical Advantage: Large Populations Have More Geniuses http://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.

@lhakpabhuti1983 How is Chinese government real terrorist? China today is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Mozambique, Tanzania, Ghana, etc.
Whereas the United States is warmonger, being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, etc, even in the 21st century! The USA is bombing those countries (Iraq Body Count Project reported some 200,000 civilian casualties) and destroying families and property, leaving families broken, homeless, jobless and harbouring animosity against the USA, so with nothing more to lose, many of them flock to join the terrorist's cause.
Can't you see who is the real terrorist government here?
