We can model that scenario using the Chinese treatment of the Tibetan or the Uyghur population. The fate of the Tibetans is no more of interest of the world media: they have been assimilated into the Chinese state and they do not exist anymore as a political, ethnic, cultural or biological entity.
The Uyghurs are of more recent interest, and the State Department estimates that 3 million of them are residing in concentration camps, being re-educated. From 5 to 50% of the adult/active population are there learning Chinese and being transmuted into Han. I am impressed by the watchtower technology pictured above (from Quartz): it is much better that anything I have seen in Israel or elsewhere. Symmetric, clear straight lines, esthetic, non-menacing, functional.
Science fiction reveals the inner life of a people, and Chinese scifi is horrific. The Solarans terrorize humanity into submission and what is the fate they dictate to us? All humanity has to move to Australia. When food there becomes scarce, the Solaran praetor answers: How can be famine when there is so much fresh meat walking on two? Solarans, aka Chinese, are not a sentimental race.
