You’re referring to an article that is from 2013. Learn more about news here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News[/quote]

And it was linked from the recent article that covers the same topic:

I shared the Reuters article because it was more succinct. It is still true today.

Xi is using traditional religions to exclude foreign influences.

What is your point? Is this acceptable to you? They see religion as a threat to the state.

"upwards of 3 million Muslim Uighurs have been sent to “counter-terrorism” or “re-education” camps, where they are tortured into renouncing their religion and forced to recite state propaganda" - from your link

Yes, the religious persecution is horrible and inexcusable.

I find it interesting though how he’s using traditional religion to further his party. He sees it as a tool to manipulate people.
