Really enjoy you writing about things that I otherwise would never think about! To your line "Does it HAVE to be like that?... I dunno", don't think anyone anywhere in the world has an answer. And I feel that there is an irony to the people who make that critique of China, where if one looks to say their summer holidays in Western Europe, there is plenty of room for critiquing those countries and histories of "assimilation"/national identity building

It’s hardly ironic. Everybody criticises the west for its treatment of ethnic minorities whereas barely anyone criticises the Chinese.
