I have seen them tailgate bikes to rob them.
My mum has been tailgated by them.
I know people who have been robbed by them.
When reported, the police do nothing in fear of breaking "cultural cohesion".
During my encounter, a cop intervened and just let them go. He told them to stop doing that and leave the area. If a Han Chinese did that, they'll be handcuffs.
Obviously, this doesn't mean all Uughurs are bad. But crime was a problem for sure. They were bad enough for me to personally see them committing crimes, and my colleague telling me to "shut the fuck up because they're Uyghurs and if you say something you'll get deported back to Aboland". The only other race I've seen try to rob people were niggers. I have no doubt that these poor kids were trained by mobsters, much like the beggar gangs in China back then.
That's not to mention the separatists who are often funded by foreign countries going out there killing random people. Oh sorry, should I have called them freedom fighters because much like Whitey, chinks are a privileged class that can't experience terrorism? Uyghurs and Han Chinese have lived side by side since millenia. The Uyghurs have birth rates that are nearly above replacement while the average Han family makes one baby. The Uyghurs are also one of the least likely to race mix unlike some other Chinese minority groups being as high as 80%, facing a legitimate genocide. To call this a genocide while claiming what happened to Gaza was the consequence of a few hundred occupiers being abducted is fucking insanity. I'm looking at you, Germany, who is against South Africa's rightful suit against the zionist entity committing these acts. Gaza doesn't even exist anymore. Uyghurs cities do and so do their language and customs.
The Chinese are very tough on crime, when something does happen, they'll go to the extreme. It's just the way it is. I'm no fan of how they dealt with the problem -- through mass incarceration and indoctrination of a socially constructed Chinese nationalist identity but I can't deny how effective it was. Apparently those facilities have been closed and the problem was deemed fixed.
They're a mixed bag. I've personally encountered good ones and scammers alike doing shady shit in gem markets.
Anyway fuck this gay world. I'm still not a fan of reeducation camps and forcing people to learn trades but the west who collectively acted blind on the shit going on in Gaza and going along with an obviously expansionist psycho zionist freak are in no position to bitch about jails.
