Xinjiang is basically becoming like Hawaii. Most of the younger people are adopting Han culture, and while their native culture is still kept, a large part of it is to support tourism.

How is their native culture kept when older people are arrested and jailed and have no chance to actually pass on their culture?

Because they aren’t. The ones being sent to rehabilitation centers were the ones trying to import Wahhabism into Xinjiang. And the harsh policies really only happened after the numerous terrorist attacks.

The native culture and language is still taught in Xinjiang schools. The RMB/Yuan itself has the Uyghur language printed on it.
