Well, i wouldn’t recommend either haha. Be sure not to express your opinions in China. Speech is not free. And don’t wear a shirt that says “I heart Uyghurs” or you’re going to be reeducated. Unless you don’t heart them… then you’ll fit right in.

Nah, why would i heart any religious group?

Ummmm…… Uyghurs are a Turkic ethnic group, historically rooted in what is now the Xinjiang region of China. They are not specifically a religion.
So, same question again?

They aren’t specifically an ethno religious group, but the vast majority of them is sunni. So again: why would i heart them? I despise religion, and Islam most of them all.
For those not in a cult I feel sorry. Same as I do for every worker in China or the Tibetans. Or the debt-crushed muricans. Or whomever is oppressed in whichever way in whatever country.
Also, never said China is perfect or anything. If forced to choose China or USA at gunpoint I’d pick China. I know more about the USA than I do about China, so I’d pick the lesser known evil.
