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).

    If you lived in an open air prison, you’d listen to whatever radical bullshit you were told that gives you the strength to fight and the hope to escape.

        Yeah, but I support the people and their struggle to not live in an open air prison and am against the genocide being committed so rich settlers can have beach front property in Gaza.

                Xinjiang is not an open air prison populated mostly by children. It’s not being bombed on a daily basis by a superior military force. It’s mostly populated by farmers that are living a normal farmer life. There isn’t actual genocide happening. People aren’t dying in masses. Pretty much not even close to the same living conditions in Gaza
