The Chinese don’t tolerate discussion or dissent anywhere. I wonder if they were in Afghanistan, instead of us, how they would handle it.

Actually, Afghanistan was once part of the Chinese empire. The Arabs took it away from them, but found that they could expand no further (eastward).

The same way they handled TIBET. They forced intermarriage between ethnic Chinese and those natives of TIBET over the past 50 years so that the Dali Lama would not recognize the place even if he returned, which he of course can't ever do.
