Bowing towards Mecca does not make Muslims more free, wealthy or powerful so neither is bowing towards the Chinese flag going to be any more effective. This is a symbolic but useless act like Saddam having people walk over a US flag or Bush's image. If walking over a flag is going to harm the flag owner, bowing to a flag is going to improve things for the owner of that flag.

The logic and science here is mind boggling. Psychologically it just shows a stupid, small minded Chinese functionary who is attempting to make the Uighurs feel insulted while he displays his loyalty to the ChiCom politburo like a donkey following a dangling carrot.
There is no doubt in what you have written.

Since you are a man of medicine, what would be the effect on the psychology of the Uighur and that of the Han that they have humiliated the Uighurs.

I mention this since the Han have assimilated the non Han and made them Han by a variety of measures, to include humiliation wherein to avoid the same, they prefer to adopt the Han ways and over generations become Han in all ways.

For instance the Bai Yue or the people of fujian, zhejiang, guangxi, guangdong and the hong river plain, etc. are classified today as Han, but there were not Han, though quite a few admit that they are descendants of Bai Yue but a separate ethnic population of Han Chinese.

One has to visit China to see how the Uighurs who are working in Mainland China are looked down upon and treated contemptuously as thugs, thieves, rogues, gypsies etc etc.
