Current Events > Do people in China, have Chinese privilege?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Are there privileges for being Chinese in China? Akin to how there are "priviliges" for white people in the west? By all the same standards, there should be.....but how come the minorities in China don't vocally demonstrate that they don't get a "fair shake" in their society while the majority has "priv"

The government probably cracks down on any protests

They do, and you don't hear complaints because the government oppressive. China is not the country you should strive to be.

Regarding themselves as having a distinct culture and ethnicity from Beijing, Uighurs have fought for independence intermittently over the last three centuries. The region came under Chinese rule in the 18th century, and while the state of East Turkestan declared independence in 1949, this was short lived as China moved to subdue the region and absorb it into Communist China. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 brought with it the emergence of nationalist independence movements throughout the countries that were once contained within the Soviet Union, as well as those that bordered it. Accordingly, Uighur separatist movements intensified in the 1990s, with Beijing responding by quashing these attempts and forcing the political movement underground. As well as nationalist sentiments, Uighurs complain of institutional discrimination against their people, with ethnic Han Chinese, not indigenous to the region, being given preference in terms of employment; the Han Chinese in Xinjiang are more often than not better off than the Uighurs of the region.

Only 91%? Would have thought it was higher than that. I live in a city of 8 million, I've only seen like 30 people who weren't Chinese.
