This fake spin reminds me of what the western propaganda's attempt to discredit China during the 2008 Olympics.
Hui people are peaceful people speaking Putonghua, the national language, and they are not terrorists attempting to set up a separate country. CIA propaganda's rumour spinning will not work here.
The mosque official is alarmed by news that authorities in Weizhou attempted to demolish its Grand Mosque last summer, but has faith that China’s constitution will “guarantee freedom of religion”. “I don’t think the order came from central government,” he says. “It was some local official’s creative execution of our religious policies.”
Truth is this grand mosque is a protected national heritage (built during Ming dynasty), local and provincial official have no power to demolish it:-
In 1956, the mosque was declared a Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the Shaanxi Province Level, and was later promoted to a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in 1988. The mosque is still used as a place of worship by Chinese Muslims, primarily Hui people, today.
She pauses. “Country comes first, then family,” she adds – a communist propaganda slogan that has been used in songs and patriotic speeches for decades.
This is not a communist propaganda, it is a Chinese culture since thousands years ago. In ancient and modern Chinese, a nation is written as "guo jia 国家“ iterally means "Country, Family". Country First, Family second, (and individual last). In a simple English it is called patriotism.
Unlike in the US where individual comes first before a family, and the family sometimes takes preference over nation (e.g. during Vietnam war, many families would find all sort of ways to avoid getting their sons drafted into military)
