>>213742616 (OP)Uyghurs have the freedom to practice their religion, use their language in schools and on official documents, and their culture is promoted. Xinjiang is unironically probably the safest part of China and education and job programs exist to help fully integrate Uyghurs into modern Chinese society.
The ETIM terrorist group has effectively been destroyed in China and can no longer operate freely in the country or recruit Uyghurs to training camps/combat units abroad. The Syrian branch of that group was recently incorporated into their new ministry of defense and is suspected in massacres against Druze and Alawites. Keep in mind ETIM worked closely with groups like Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and ISIS. If you were in charge of your country, would you want a group like this operating freely in the countryside and carrying out terrorist attacks after getting significant combat experience abroad?
