I agree, this does feel like a sea change. Not to mention that it's coinciding with the end of the CCP being a more or less reasonable ruling body (video game bans, corruption purges, increased propaganda, etc.)

CCP being a more or less reasonable ruling body: where does the Genocide of the Uighurs fit in with them being "reasonable"?

The parent was talking about the increase in authoritarianism on the part of the CCP (which would presumably also affect the Han population) -- at least that's how I understood the comment.

Are you trying to say that the CCP is _not_ becoming _more_ authoritarian?

> Genocide of the Uighurs

It's not genocide in the conventional sense. As no people are killed. Maybe a cultural genocide.
