This stuff is obviously bullshit, and funded by the west. Decrying China for being anti-muslim and putting people into "concentration camps", while simultaneously supporting the illegal settler colonial operation in Palestine
Are you denying these restrictions exist entirely? I agree with you that it sucks that we're only hearing about it as a distraction from atrocities our own governments are committing, but do you think it's not happening at all?
Yea, I am. There used to be more controls about this stuff, but that was because China literally had lots of bombings from these Islamic fundamentalist groups. You can't expect them to just let this stuff go and not have anything done.
That is not to say they could have done better and I'm not critical, but China has taken the best approach to this (which the Islamic Cooperation Community supported) which is re-education and re-integration with society.
They just continue to harp on these points with anecdotal evidence and no concrete sources. It is bullshit.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer.
