They would have been able to buy train tickets to travel freely, without showing ID or expecting checks. Even if refused from hotels, they would have had networks of friends to stay with or people to point them to 'no-show motels' where ID (illegally) wasn't demanded

I had two young Uighur male employees at our Beijing company from 2008-2011. They never had any trouble. I had dinner with one of their visiting fathers in 2010, though. He was already very worried about increasing problems and predicted pretty much exactly what has transpired.
