Regardless of anyone posting any kind of videos, any Chinese account posting any kind of videos on Xinjiang, publishing photos of a crowded mall in Xinjiang is as close portrayal of reality as Chinese claims of normalcy when COVID was just to start or what North Korea does all the time or Chinese economy isn't slowing down just because some xyz product had record sale in China this month or there is some crowd in an ABC mall.
Unless you are a staunch CCP supporter or a Chinese nationalist trying to cope, the way isn't enough to even convince an uneducated person.
Stats and logic speak louder than rants. Stats of PRC's aging population, ethnically racist staunch mindset of a material society with stressed people & stagnating growth and lately reducing share in global industries, exploited working class, normal image in front of world and so forth. Things don't change all of a sudden and changing populace attitudes change decades. It's just difference in very nature of Indian government's and CCP's where former prefers to portray image of a traditional dance in Rajasthan as national image while the other prefers a photo of Shanghai's scrappers ignoring bigger lot of its culture beyond eastern China.
So, every random video vlogging against same is just an eyewash like North Korea does. You can't just post a random video and call anyone brainwashed. Nazis, Soviets and Mao, state sponsored PR (propaganda) didn't work out well. Come back when PRC administration actually suspend seditions or criticism, guided tours and look after leftover people beyond mainland too.
