Chinese praise collectivism because thousands years fighting against flood of yellow river(one of the toughest river on earth). Only collectivism can make us survive. The psychological impacts on Chinese is that collectivism is preferred than individual liberty including religion.
IMO, it's quite tough. I think it's culture conflict. Both sides have deep belief on their opinions. Also there are misunderstanding on China Xinjiang policy, Pakistanis may not know Xinjiang history and political motivation well.
