In a move set to tighten government control over practicing religion in China’s western Xinjiang Province, the Muslim-majority region will introduce a set of regulations that – among other things – will require all new places of worship to reflect “Chinese characteristics and style.”

The sweeping legislation will come into force on February 1 as part of a broader multiyear campaign aimed at controlling religion in Xinjiang, which is home to mainly Muslim ethnic groups such as Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and Hui (aka Dungans).

      What’s the same? Government sets laws. People break laws. People go to jail for breaking laws. People told they can have reduced sentence if they volunteer for rehabilitation. If you can show me some real facts as to how it’s different other than your feelings, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. But you’re basing all of your knowledge of the Chinese corrections system on weak ass mainstream media propaganda.

      Every terrorist is someone’s freedom fighter. Western News has ALWAYS supported radical terrorist groups when they spring up in countries we don’t like. This isn’t rocket science. If there was genocide in Xinjiang it would be hard to contain. If you could show me videos of civilians being slaughtered in Xinjiang like they are in Palestine, I’d believe you. Until I see the footage though, it’s all bullshit. Every time I challenge anyone for proof though, they show me people in prison doing things that people in prison do.
