You are literally free to do so. Take a flight to China tomorrow, and visit Kashgar in the Xinjiang province, or visit the Tibet region. You'll find that people are living normal plentiful lives and support the Chinese government in their majority. China is, as a matter of fact, the country in the world with highest government satisfaction rates consistently
That info comes from western organizations like the University of California or the Pew Research Institute, BTW, not from any "evil CCP propaganda".
The fact that you believe Uyghur or Tibetan people are unhappy with their government is because you've fallen for propaganda yourself. Western-manufactured organizations like the East Turkestan Liberation Organization (based in Türkiye, NATO nation) or the Tibetan Government in Exile (based off India) create propaganda implying that people in said regions aren't happy with the government and want independence, but if you look inside China and ask the actual population, you'll find that's a very minority position. Certainly nothing in Tibet like the literal police violence against pro-independence protestors causing 800 wounded in Catalonia in my homeland of Spain because their right to self determination is violated abusing the Spanish constitution.
Ohhhh, I get it, you're a Zionist! Should have started from there, I would have wasted a lot less time if I knew I was dealing with a genocidal maniac, gotcha. Bye

This video very well explains some issues with China from a pretty well trusted source (Mehdi Hasan). From their own representatives mouth. Dismissing the fact of Chinese residents not having freedom of speech seems to be a major oversight of your suppositions about their feelings on their government.
(Speaking as a mod)
This comment has been reported for misinformation. I don't think you're citing misinfo sources, but rather glossing over animosity and lived experiences from people such as these audience participants with missing family members that seem comically evil to gaslight in the way that China officially and undeniably has. So not misinformation, but I certainly understand why it was when the intention to miss crucial points is so apparent. It'll remain up with this note in place.
