While Muslims are a minority in China representing 0.45-2.85% of the entire population, there are approximately 12 million Uyghurs living in Xinjiang, which majority of them are Muslim and practicing the religion of Islam. In 2020, China has put millions of Muslims through concentration camps as an attempt to make them forego their Islamic values, and uphold Chinese communist narratives. It goes from from forced labour to sterilization of women to numerous genocides against the Muslim Ummah. The Chinese government targets and attacks Uyghurs undercover, while denying the allegations of taking away their human rights.
China generally is anti-religious and doesn’t support any religious figures and practices in general. They have destroyed Mosques and Tombs, and other places of worship. More than a million Uyghurs have been imprisoned well over a thousand years. In a 2010 study, Uyghurs in China has made up over 40% of the entire population, as the years go by the numbers decline rapidly as 2.2 million Uyghurs were killed in a Massacre in the last decade. Just recently in 2022, more than 1 million Muslims have been detained against their will. A news report on CNN has exposed the Chinese government for the harsh treatment of Uyghurs (you can find the link below). Unfortunately, Chinese imperialism has been pushed into people for years and years.
But hey what did you expect from a full on Kuffar Country?!
