Hello guys! A person I know recently got into Rednote and came across different posts by people with their locations set in China or Chinese guys claiming to to be living in Western countries and those posts claimed stuff like;

-VPN happens to be banned in Xinjiang Autonomous Region

-Uyghur langauge has been crushed and they speak and write Mandarian now while all other groups in China speak their own langauges(he mentioned Inner Mongolia for some reason)

-There is excessive security in Xinjiang Autonomous Region and the people get oppressed there

-Muslims in general are forbidden from proselytizing(guy is religious and for some reason thinks this is an important thing) and that’s against religious freedom(and he claims that there are underground Christian churches there that do proselytize secretly) (this last point is pretty wierd really)

    There is heightened security in Xinjiang… because of wahhabi terrorists that came over from Afghanistan during the war.

    Carl Zha has some good videos about Xinjiang and so does Jerry’s Takes on China. I forget which video it was but Carl explained that Uighur culture is not salifist. They have their own alcoholic beverages and drinking culture, and are generally much less strict than other muslims.

    China is repressing “muslims” but the ones they are repressing are the imported, supremacist wahhabi cult that is practiced by isis and al-qaeda. China would “repress” the KKK too.
