Chinese state closely monitor all religious activities. A religion becomes a target for civil and/or military action when it becomes organized politically and as a business, when it interferes in public life and impose religious symbolism such as dress code that are foreign to China's civilization culture, and encourages and promotes violence through indoctrination and eternal life in the after world promises.
Be aware that China has been the most historically dialectical nation. Before we adopted Marxist-Leninist ideology, we were also dialectical people. We are quick to take lessons using the rest of the world as a lab for our distant observation.
We have been following events in the Caucasus, Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. If anyone believes we will repeat those same mistakes by allowing religiosity to go organized and interfere in public life, they are in for a big surprise.
China does not subscribe to political fashion of unbridled religious liberty that preaches a foreign ideology. Others' religious affinities and feelings toward people outside their national border is meaningless to China. In fact, we take it as an hostile intervention.
So, save your sympathy for some minority people whose beards will be shaved off or burqas will be stripped off. There are countless of places you can use that symphaty for nearby you.
China's Xinjiang is one of the fastest growing regions with secular education, lifestyle, culture and entertainment. The region is the hub of the Belt and Road. People are overwhelmingly patriotic, as
@Daniel808 bro says.
This country, Greater China, has a recorded history of 5000 years and it had been a political entity way before religions started in the Mesopotamia. Confucius was teaching public ethics and governance three centuries before the Jesus of Nazareth was born.
Our culture is deeper, broader, and more resilient. If there is going to be a dominant cultural mode in Greater China, it will be the culture of the Yellow River.
What comes later cannot contain what comes before.
