Friends of mine who have moved away from China. One of them had police at their door in China for social media posts that were friendly to Uyghurs (not even anything to do with the genocide, just general friendliness as a "we're all Chinese" kind of message). Being taken to police stations for even slightly questioning the state narrative is terrifying.
