    It's so good at hiding a genocide that they can hide a genocide in a part of the country where you can freely travel to as a tourist, where you can see thousands of videos of on YouTube

      Is that entirely accurate? I've seen some videos online that you need to get permission from the government (some kind of visa) to travel to Tibet and Xinjiang autonomous region.

      I could be wrong or not have the full picture, I'd imagine if that's the case though, it's to prevent foreign agents from entering the regions to foment unrest.

        Tibet is stricter but you can freely go to Xinjiang. There are places you need a permit for, for example some highways, but that's not all too weird.

        I need permission from the government (exactly a visa) to go see the Grand Canyon

        It's just a travel document it's very easy to get one. Just like getting a tourist visa anywhere else but you have to check in a bit more often. This is also not exclusive to Xinjiang or Tibet.

          It is exclusive to Tibet compared to the rest of China, where foreigners can travel freely with just a visa. In Tibet AR (but not Tibetan autonomous counties in other provinces) foreigners need to travel with a group and special permits.

          Chinese citizens travel freely all over except HK and Macau as far as I know, they need permits to go there.
