China’s largest Muslim ally broke ranks to criticize its repression of the Muslim Uighur minority

Pakistan, China's closest ally in the Muslim world, openly criticized its treatment of its Uighur population, a majority-Muslim ethnic minority living in the western Chinese region in Xinjiang, earlier this week.

It marks the strongest condemnation of China's repression of the population yet.

Noorul Haq Qadri, Pakistan's federal minister for religious affairs, warned that Beijing's strict regulation of Uighur activity fuels extremism rather than counters terrorism, Pakistani media reported.

"The placement of restrictions increases the chances of an extremist viewpoint growing in reaction," Qadri told China's ambassador to Pakistan, Yao Xing, on Wednesday according to Dawn newspaper.

His comments directly challenge China's justification of its crackdown on Xinjiang— known to Uighurs as East Turkestan — which are that it counters terrorism and is "training" people to avoid religious extremism.

Qadri on Wednesday also called for a softer approach from Beijing to curb intolerance and promote religious harmony in Xinjiang, Pakistan's The Nation newspaper reported.

He also proposed for Pakistani religious scholars to visit Xinjiang.

Yao appeared to agree, reportedly saying: "Exchange of viewpoints between religious scholars of both countries is vital for better interfaith relations."

Yao also invited Qadri to visit China, Dawn reported, although it's not clear whether this would entail a trip to Xinjiang.

Li Xiaojun, a spokesman for China's state council information office, told reporters last week that sending Uighurs to detention centers was "not mistreatment," but "to establish professional training centers, educational centers."

Turkey spoke out against China's treatment of Uighurs in 2009 and 2015, which resulted in Beijing repeatedly warning Istanbul not to "twist facts" or "poison ties and derail cooperation" between the two countries.

Whether Islamabad will suffer the same fate is not clear. Pakistan is China's biggest economic ally in the Muslim world, with the two countries forming in 2013 the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor — a massive $62 billion partnership consisting of transport and energy projects.

China has invested between $1 trillion and $8 trillion in its BRI deals around the world, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The BRI is one of Xi Jinping's pet projects.

China might fall into trap. Just integrate muslims the gentle way, not the way you are trying. Its just in your own interest.

We tried. The Uighurs imported Wahabbism from Saud, killed a hundred civilians and tried to overthrow the government 10 years ago. There are other, non-contentious Muslims communities such has Hui and Kazakh. Uighurs will need to moderate their nationalism and religious fundamentalism in a similar fashion.

 

[Samlee]

Stupid Indians and their Western allies taking keen interest in this fabricated story.

Pakistan has never criticized China. As usual trying to create a wedge between China and Pakistan, but it won't work.

It Looks Like DAWN Published This Report For Indians Who Love Fapping From Time To Time

 

[Jugger]

They did and we are disappointed, we never meddle with their domestic issues.

Since they have meddled in your domestic issue then it’s high time you reciprocated the same.
Do you actually think that Pakistanis love non believers like you...? It’s just a relation for profit between Pakistan and China.

My thoughts...

https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/reli...f-xinjiang-muslims-with-chinese-envoy.578048/

I am proud of the humanity shown by the PTI government. First the fought for Atif Mian, yesterday they looked out for refugees and today asked China about Uyghur Muslims.

As an ally and friend of China it is our duty to stand by China and support them wherever we can. Western nations are trying thier best to drive a wedge between China and Muslim nations by suggesting China is abusing its Muslim citizens.

The Pakistani government has taken a wise step in asking about this and by offering support to resolve any religious problems.

Note how the focus was on religious matters, not political matters. Pakistan has never supported separatist movements in China and has always supported China in its fight against Uyghur origin terrorists.

By openly discussing an internal matter with a Muslim ally China's security measures can be given greater credibility and not be maligned by the west as anti Islam.

You may have a mindset of nationalism and real politik but most of our population doesn't. 50% of our population can't even read or write. They are controlled by money, mullah and media.

This is true for many other Muslim countries too, especially those China is investing in.

China and Muslim nations have the same enemy. Those enemies want to exploit Islamic sentiment to drive a wedge between China and its Muslim allies through fake news. This is a grave danger for China's plans and ours. Projects like CPEC and other OBOR initiatives in Muslim countries could be sabotaged using terrorists who are brainwashed to hate China.

By engaging publicly on the matter with a Muslim ally China displays openness and the fakenews can be challenged from a Muslim voice too.

We stand at a critical time, our enemies will do anything to drive us apart so it is our duty to work closer than ever. Failure of OBOR will affect China's superpower status and will be a much bigger economic disaster for its Muslim allies like us.

This meeting was clearly a coordinated move, at a time the COAS is in China.

Not everything that happens inside a country is an internal affair. We are not in isolation from each other. Things that happen in China impact us and things that happen in Pakistan impact China.

When we had terrorists running up and down the country, China was rightfully concerned, as it may impact their security. Both Pakistan and China were concerned about ISIS in Afghanistan.

The reality of the situation is there is a very significant Muslim population in the world who consider each and every Muslim as their own. Our population also has many such people. The enemies of China are busy painting China as a country which is attacking Muslims and Islam, so that they can use sentiment to use proxies to damage Chinese interests abroad.

We have a HUGE investment in this. If CPEC projects are attacked be islamist militants, there will be a time where Chinese companies will stop investing. We are heavily invested in the success of that project. Our enemies would like nothing more than to see it fail.

The Pakistani state has always been about real politik, we work with even our own enemies where it suits us (like America), we certainly wouldn't think twice about working with China because of it's religious matters. Unfortunately the state doesn't have proper control of it's people, or it's borders. This leaves us fertile to foreign agencies operating here and funding groups like Al Queda, PTM, ISIS, TTP, BLA etc.

It is because of our own weakness we have to get involved in what is technically an "internal affair". We have to be seen to be looking out for our fellow Muslims, we have to give the Chinese claims of this all being fake, some credibility. If we don't the propaganda will take hold and we only need a few hundred people to be convinced enough for it to have a huge negative impact on CPEC.

China has a larger global interest in this too. For years and years the only Chinese presence outside it's own borders was in nations it was culturally and ethnically similar too. Today that is not the case. OBOR has a lot of Muslim partners and the west has it's islamist tools like ISIS/Al Queda close to all Muslim countries.

The west will use it's islamist proxies to destabilise OBOR in places like Pakistan, Djibouti, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Indonesia etc. China understands this, now it is time for the people to start understanding this. The Muslim countries are politically and ideologically complex and confused. This has been exploited by the west to play them like puppets for decades. China now wants to have a presence in these nations, so they must be wary of western designs against them. The globalisation of the Uyghur issue, is one of the main prongs of attack.

Chinese members would do well to read the report as it in Pakistani papers, rather than western papers. The propaganda being stirred up, is exactly why it benefits us to be on the same page on the matter.

Yep Fapping Indians Just As I Thought

 

[haidian]

That's how our leaders care about the Muslim poor population in China, going to their own houses and visit their families

 

[RaGotimaar]

If

First whether they are forced can not be based on the western reports which are notorious for making up fake news, second, China does have compulsory education up to high school, if you refuse to let your kids go to school, you break the law and will be punished accordingly.

If they are not forced you should let Pakistani and western journalists to talk to students. Vocational training happens after high school for children aged 16 or 18 and above.

Check the report, we did already.

 

[RaGotimaar]

China treats every her citizen as a human being first, a human being has their basic needs which should been taken good care first. Religions and politics appeared long after humans came into being. so first thing comes first.

Freedom of religion is also considered a human right these days. But the Uighurs are already getting special treatment in already fully open atheist communist china

LOL Hindu rapist thinks he can create a wedge. Beg harder.

 

[RealNapster]

So at least Indians can not accuse Pakistan of not saying anything over this issue. China won't tolerate anyone meddling with our domestic issues, big or small.


They did and we are disappointed, we never meddle with their domestic issues.

We (Pakistan Government) actually “Asked” Chinese government to go easy on muslims. We didn’t dictated china or demanded anything. This newsPaper is quoting a molvi (Muslim scholar) in his own capacity.

China doesn't care about religions, what China cares is social disturbance under the pretext of religions. If Fa lungong weren't openly being against the government, probably they would be ok.

Some religious radicals started riots and mass killing of civilians in Xinjiang, that's crossed the line set by the government.

 

[IceCold]

It's crazy how Pakistanis went berserk about some drawing cartoon competition but so docile and not even a raising a voice when real actual muslim human beings are involved. Shows priorities really well.

shut up troll and learn to mind your fuking business.
