All threads related to Xinjiang should go in here please. This has been asked by Chinese members due to sheer number of threads that are being put up. It's also been agreed to by non-Chinese members who have alternate points.
If there is abuse you will be banned, as I did with two posters today.
If you decide to ignore this thread, you will also be banned.
It's time for some order here.

Thank you and I'm sorry if I sounded harsh in my post.

This is not good. Not surprising the Chinese wanted it like this.

Nobody ever bothers visiting topics with huge numbers of replies then there's the issue of individual posts getting less exposure in Google.

Sad to see the Chinese aren't even proud of their own actions and didn't want this forum to be "stinkied up" with news about Uighurs. That's how much they hate them.

RIP poor Uighurs :undecided: Even this forum isn't free of political bullcrap, the administration couldn't piss off Chinese, could they?

Residents from different ethnic groups in Qianjin village, Kashi, Northwest China's Xinjiang
Province
celebrated Eid al-Fitr on Wednesday and the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival.

More than 100 villagers and officials in Qianjin village in Naizerbage town gathered in the yard of Tursunpasha Musha's house to watch an art performance and talk about the traditions of celebrating Eid al-Fitr and the Dragon Boat Festival.

Tursunpasha was very hospitable and insisted that the guests taste the snack he prepared for Eid al-Fitr. "We Uyghurs usually celebrate Eid al-Fitr with friends and relatives. We eat some traditional food, talk to each other, sing and dance together," he said.

Kulaxi Abudula said that "the Dragon Boat Festival, which is meant to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan in the Warring States Period (475BC-221BC), has a history of more than 2,000 years in China… the festival also bears people's wishes for a stable and prosperous country and happy life."

This year's Dragon Boat Festival will fall on Friday.

Officials stationed in the village also sent supplies to help residents in poverty better celebrate the festivals.

Local language, customs and traditions all proudly on display. Yet some would have us believe Uighur customs are being eradicated.

China, being a socialist republic, is more lenient toward local customs. Nationalist and capitalist republics are less tolerant. Take the US eradication of native American culture and identity for example.

They put them in reservations. They forced them to cut long hair. They forced ideological education on them. Plus, they inflicted them with drug and gamble addictions to entire erase their historical identity at the DNA level. In their movies, they constantly depicted Native Americans as savages and brutes, creating a global image of them. Now nobody cares about their plight.

so true.
 
Even on the day of Eid, I do not see any traditional picture of Muslim traditional wears. CPC must have put a lots of restriction on how to celebrate Eid like they do other celebration of Muslims including Roja, Names and beard size and shape etc.
 
Me and my friends, in fact my whole neighbourhood, like to come together on Eid to wave chinese flags for pictures too. It's a tradition! Totally not staged.

Lol come on guys, these Chinese aren't going to show you what they don't want you to see. Ya'll complain about western propaganda but some of you will drink up chinese propaganda like soup.
 
China should stop caring too much about minorities and do away with minority preferential treatment policies, 93.7% of the Chinese population is Han Chinese, take good care of Han Chinese and forget about minorities.
 
Xinjiang establishes airline company to boost low-altitude tourism

Source:Xinhua Published: 2019/5/31 8:32:24

An airline company has been established in Kuqa County, Xinjiang Province, to meet the increasing demands of low-altitude, short-distance travelling among tourists.

According to the newly-established air company, the already launched flights from Kuqa to nearby cities of Aksu and Karamay are all operated by small aircraft with a capacity of eight to 12 passengers.

Wang Qiong, marketing director of the company, said the flight altitude was around 3,000 meters, which enables passengers to view the unique landscapes, rivers and highways of Xinjiang from the air.

Wang said the company planned to launch a total 10 low-altitude tourism routes to popular destinations including Turpan and Nalat Grassland Resort.

Wrecked mosques, police watch: A tense Ramadan in Xinjiang

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/wrecked-mosques-police-watch-a-tense-ramadan-in-xinjiang


HOTAN, CHINA (AFP) - The corner where Heyitkah Mosque in China's restive Xinjiang region once hummed with life is now a concrete parking lot where all traces of the tall, domed building have been erased. While Muslims around the world celebrated the end of Ramadan with prayers and festivities this week, the recent destruction of dozens of mosques in Xinjiang highlights the increasing pressure Uighurs and other ethnic minorities face in the heavily policed region. Behind the lot in the city of Hotan, the slogan "Educate the people for the party" is emblazoned in red on the wall of a primary school where students must scan their faces upon entering the razor-wired gates.

The mosque "was beautiful," recalled a vendor at a nearby bazaar. "There were a lot of people there." Satellite images reviewed by AFP and visual analysis non-profit Earthrise Alliance show that 36 mosques and religious sites have been torn down or had their domes and corner spires removed since 2017. In the mosques that are open, worshippers go through metal detectors while surveillance cameras monitor them inside. "The situation here is very strict, it takes a toll on my heart," said one Uighur, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisals. "I don't go any more," he added, referring to mosques. "I'm scared."

In the ancient Silk Road city of Kashgar, no longer does the sunrise prayer call echo throughout the city - a ritual the manager of the city's central mosque once proudly shared with tourists. On Wednesday (June 5), locals celebrating Eid al-Fitr quietly filed into the entrance of state-approved Idkah Mosque - one of the largest in China - as police and officials fenced off the wide square surrounding the building and plainclothes men monitored every person's actions. It was another low-key Ramadan for Muslims in Xinjiang, with restaurants busy serving food to customers throughout the day, when practising Muslims fast. In Hotan on Friday - a holy day for believers - the only mosque in the city was empty after sundown, an important prayer session when Muslim families typically break their daily fast.

@waz feel good silencing the truth and allowing China's propaganda? I don't know how you can sleep.
 
The Pak stance of Muslims in China seems quite like the lyrics of an old Bollywood song..


"Hai isi mein pyar ki aabroo ,Woh jafa kare main wafa karoon

Mujhe gham bhi unka azeez hai, Ke unhi ki di hui cheez"
 
China should stop caring too much about minorities and do away with minority preferential treatment policies, 93.7% of the Chinese population is Han Chinese, take good care of Han Chinese and forget about minorities.

The way China treats its minority, they will certainly China to forget them and leave them alone. Now stop building re-education camp for them.
