That's a cop-out.
The size of the country and diversity of populace is irrelevant when a central committee runs the place homogenously.

Depends if the issue is black & white, and in the case of China, it is.
Xi is boss for life, and he's continually tightening the grip of the CCP over the population. They're rewriting history as we type. In another generation no Chinese person under 30 will know that Genghis Khan conquered the country, that Uighurs are muslin Chinese, or that Honkers used to be British.
This story certainly appears to be real: https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/27/drug-...ldren-7665476/
Here's the Chinese version, including video, and there are definitely schoolkids there: http://v.hinews.cn/page-1329629.html
Is that the action of a sane regime? Looks very black and white to me.
