It’s good the Chinese reach out a hand and try to met Islam at its own standards.

Chinese Imperialism?
OK, fine. But let’s be a little discerning here — China has what? one or two bases outside China ? Their forays into “imperialism” are largely economic… something we in the West are innocent of ….

Peter Myers is good on some things like MH360 BUT, he is way offline with his hatred of China. There are NO Urgur concentration camps. May I remind you that it is historical FACT that Mao Ze Dong actually gave Muslims more rights that some Chinese! yes Mao. They has all their special days and privileges. China has no reason to imprison normal Urghurs or any other Muslims. PM has fallen for the disinformation crap pushed by CIA, MI6 and the rest. Of course China has a right to round up terrorists sent across the border from Afghanistan and similar borders to disrupt and cause chaos in its western regions, no matter what nationality they are. Agree with animal logic here , who is the big bad wolf? with its regime change bases all over the planet? Wonder who that is?
China is helping Africa unlike the British and French who enslaved and exploited it for 200+ years.

I am skeptical of all of this China Uiger hysteria.

If you want to make China look bad, there are lots of things you can go to. But this Uigher hysteria just looks trumped up and fake.

You can easily find links to Iraqi soldiers murdering Kuwaiti children in hospitals. It looks like the West just wants a pretext to hurt China on and more importantly get Muslims to hate China since the West does not like to get their own hands dirty.

“Based on facts on the ground…”

LOL. CIA disinformation and media echo chamber are not “facts” on the ground.

“China…. going after the whole population that shares some of the ideas (or even religion) of the handful of active insurgents.”

Think before you write, Mr Barrett. Do you think China is so stupid? What is China’s incentive for going after the WHOLE population? Don’t they understand all the bad and extremely obvious consequences that you superficially anticipate here?

The only way for China to “win” would be to complete another genocide, like their 19th century Zunghar Holocaust, which the world’s nearly 2 billion Muslims have not forgotten and will never forgive

I assume you meant Dungan, not Zunghar. There was Dzungar which was different from Dungan.

If you are being honest you should have told the whole story, so the whole world can learn from this tragedy. Instead, you are cherry-picking history to promote your agenda.

For these who aren’t familiar with the so-called “Zungar Holocaus”, here is a little more info.

After the Taiping Rebellion (Chinese against Manchu’s rule – 1850 to 1864), the Manchu Qing dynasty was severely weakened and started gradually losing control of some parts of China. There were a lot of social unrest during and after the Taiping Rebellion. The social unrest in ShannXi province became skirmish between Hui and Han Chinese, and skirmishes turned into a full-blown Hui rebellion. The rebellion started in 1862 and was put down by the Qing government army in 1873.

In ShannXi and Gansu province alone, 20 million people died, and most of them were Han Chinese. In terms of percentage, Hui and Han Chinese suffered equally – about 74.5%.

What Kevin failed to mention was the massacres of the Han Chinese perpetrated by the Muslim army. A case in point, in Jan 1863 (Chinese Lunar Calendar) when Hui army took the city “Gu Yuan”, they killed over 200,000 civilians. In Aug 1863, they killed double of that number of civilians in the city “Ping Liang Fu”. In Oct 1863, they massacred about 150,000 civilian in the city of “Ning Xia Fu”.

There were a lot killings on both sides; there were a lot of victims and sufferings. I guess in your book Chinese victims don’t count much even though more Chinese civilians died in the rebellion.

You answered the main reason that Uighers are becoming a thing in the West.

The West seeks to take up the Uigher cause to stop China’s silk road expansion. The West wants to use Muslims as a proxy army against China because they want to avoid using their own soldiers.

This is classic Anglo/Jewish divide and conquer.

You didn’t provide proof that Uighers are actually being harmed though. Meanwhile we have ample proof that the West makes up hysterics when they want to target a country just like the West did against Iraq and their soldiers killing babies.

Anyone who has a brain knows who fostered and stirred up terrorism in XinJiang,

Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet and XinJiang are the name the world will hear a lot more, particularly Taiwan in the next 5 years. I bet the US will start some shit across the Strait.
