people don't enjoy getting run over en masse by trucks or having their children decapitated by 'enthusiastic' religious adherents.
Did you know that the Nazis hyped up Jewish criminals as a way of demonizing all of them based on the actions of a few?
The most weird news I have heard from Xinjiang is when Chinese authorities forced Muslims to dance on streets - https://tribune.com.pk/story/871879/suppressing-religious-fr...
There are so many errors in this article in the first few paragraphs that I have trouble believing any of it, even if the story itself is believable from what I know of Chinese religious oppression. First, Xinjiang is in the west, not east. Second, Uyghurs in China do not speak Turkish. They speak Uighur, a Turkic language, but its orthography is Arabic and forced Chinese. It looks nothing like Turkish, which uses a…
Considering the "muslim minorities" went on a wild random stabbing campaign and randomly injected people with some sort of syringes in public places, AND entry into restaurands and stores all include metal detectors and xray scanners and armed troops are standing everywhere, I'd say there's already been a war declared by the minorities against the chinese there. Just in case you are wondering my wife has family who l…

this is absolutely sick. Why has this never reached the mainstream news?
And they're also targeting kazakhs according to this article I posted 5 days ago but got no comments: http://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/china-orders-xinjiangs... .
I don't think rfa.org should be banned, perhaps message the admins and they'll take it off the banned domains list.

>The app reportedly scans for the MD5 digital signatures of media files in the phone, and matches them to a stored database of offending files classified by the government as illegal "terrorist-related" media. What a dumb way to scan for "illegal" content, considering the goverment already controls their portion of the internet. So instead of monitoring who is accessing what they decide to compare checksums of files…
Experiment: tomorrow, ask 5 people you know who are not software engineers how to change the MD5 checksum on a file that resides on their mobile device.
Report the results here.

It's mostly just xinjiang that gets shit on. See e.g. http://time.com/3099950/china-muslim-hui-xinjiang-uighur-isl... The TL;DR of it is that it has not much to do with religion specifically, and much to do with the region pushing for autonomy (which doesn't rate particularly high in the eyes of Beijing). (This is not to say it's ok, just stating the reality of the situation)
This is important to stress. It doesn't make the decision any less oppressive, but framing it as anti-muslim instead of anti-insubordination obscures Beijing's real priorities.
The ordinary people's resentment towards Muslim stems from the Hui's abuse of political privileges to expand their religious strengths, such as Saria Law, to intervene Han people's daily life everywhere, from Ningxia, Gansu to Henan and Shandong, from Canteens, Schools to Police, Courts.
In the meanwhile, the majority has little to zero knowledge about the Uyghurs because only a few Uyghur people live outside Xinjiang.
The situation is really weird and there is a conspiracy theory saying that the CCP leadership has been controlled by the Hui Muslim.
BTW, the Hui Muslim and the Uyghur Muslim have been enemies since the Qing Dynasty.

There is a lot of other stuff going on that is completely unreported. I would recommend talking to Uyghurs directly. Clearly China is trying to solidify their geographical borders by turning majority ethnic groups in those given regions in to minority groups of ever decreasing influence. This is straight out of a very old playbook for colonization. That they are able to so opening continue doing this in 2017 with so…

And the mainstream media actually investigates and reports on issues using facts?
There are obviously serious issues in Xinjiang. But the fantastical stories don't really help matters. The lack of serious reporting on what is really happening is a cause for concern
But even the original article aka spyware is quoting twitter as a source. I'd like a proper translation and confirmation of the sources before believing it. I'd hope the mainstream media is looking into the spyware issue since it's looks like there might be a story there but it's to hard to tell the real story atm.
