In June of last year, 2 Chinese people were killed by ISIS somewhere in Pakistan and China vowed to have Muslim terrorism come to an end.
This is the result of that vow, because in China's head: "If we force every Muslim to abandon Islam, then no more Muslim terrorists will exists since Islam is the problem".
If you're a Muslim, then China's government considers you a potential terrorist and you must be dealt with before you become one.
Do I believe that this method will work in getting rid of Islamic extremists? Maybe to some very small extent, but you can't really force fear and hatred out of people and it's fear and hatred that puts you on the path towards becoming an extremist.
This is 100% incorrect. You are completely ignorant if you think this has anything to do with Islam.
China has always had a problem with separatists and minorities that do not conform with the state. They really don't care what religion you are but will come
down like a hammer on you if you are seen as a "troublemaker".
Falun-gong followers were frequently rounded up and used as "organ donors". They were not in any way muslim.
Please do not make this a "china hates muslims" issue. It is not. It is a china does not like dissent issue.
While this has been going on for decades (and everyone at large, including Americans, don't really care much) let me shitpost:
This is completely shitpost and wrong since it probably started before Trump was even born :
- Western media is quiet and won't report on this since it is the wrong narrative.
- The chineese did nothing wrong, they are all innocent victims, triggered by big bad Trump bullying them with trade tariffs and such.
- It is all Trumps fault.
End shitpost. But maybe this is how MSM sees things ?
