The Chinese government is significantly reducing the number of mosques in Ningxia and Gansu provinces under its “consolidating mosques” policy, in violation of the right to freedom of religion.

    I don’t really like how HRW does their reporting tbh. It basically consists of “here’s some random Chinese article that suggests something that they might do, which, because China is a single-party state, MUST describe what they do” coupled with “here are some sources from US-funded parties detailing what they claim to be happening in China.”

    It’s not a question of whether their statements are accurate, but it’s a question of whether they’ve provided enough evidence to make those statements.

    I think it’s a good time for that because the World is not looking closely anymore because they’re looking at and cheering on Israel right now bombarding mosques, schools and hospitals.

    The report cites ASPI (a couple defense contractors in a wallabee suit) and RFA (completely made up stories from Langley, VA). I’m gonna need a lot more than Beltway Hearsay here.

    After all the lies about Xinjiang, forgive me if this feels like so much crying wolf
