a completely unsourced rant, from the same people that peddled the 'Iraq has WMD's' bullshit.

Some names have been changed.

Was Adrien Zenz one of them?

    there is no clarity on how the law distinguishes spreading religious faith from “spreading religious extremism.” If a religious preacher advocates abstaining from alcohol, for example, is he spreading faith or extremism? If an Uyghur person speaks about Han Chinese majoritarian domination, or imposition of the Mandarin language, is he or she guilty of “undermining ethnic unity” or “disturbing the social order”? If an Uyghur person wears a beard, or observe a fast during Ramzan, are they hindering “implementation of the country’s cultural systems”?

    I’d encourage you to read the link in its entirety. It’s China’s own words.

      definitely food for thought, though i'm not sure i fully agree with some of their conclusions, would need to read the white paper for myself and i'm meant to be working right now...

        Didn’t think I needed to mention it was in English, but yes, great call out. Read the parts that discuss documents and statements release directly from China.
