China renames a river because it sounds Arabic

[Dungeness]

To be relevant as a world power, countries need actual power.

A China that was large sized version of Taiwan would today have a GDP roughly twice that of the US, or pretty much the combination of whole of the west.

That thing itself is world altering.

It is like saying if China were a British colony like HK, it would have had GDP 5 times what it is today. It is nonsense to compare a vast country with a small island that had the entire China's wealth to begin with.

Bigger Taiwan is still a chess piece played by others, but China wants to be a player.

Another cheap propaganda. Local laws doesn't allow naming public location after foreign person or places, somehow it is twisted into narrative of muslims suppression. China had also demolished church, temple, mosque, and even Mao stature that was built without proper approval.

Point is simple.

Either Islam is part of China or not.

If not, then Muslims of Xinjiang, Hui, and Gansu are not Chinese.

Pick one.

A small place can always get rich fast, Hong kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Macau , but a huge country like China is very different, that's common sense, so your comparison doesn't make any sense.

That is actually totally not true. Size of the country has very little to do with prosperity.

Small countries like Rwanda, Haiti, and many others are dirt poor as well.

And US, despite being the largest developed country, is richer than most developed countries like Japan, Germany, UK, France etc.

Then all is fair in stealing, murdering, rape, and committing evil, as there is no accountability unless your government catches you.

Moral bankruptcy should not be admired, but shunned. It is the decay and decimation of society.

The worst scammers and con artists my relatives and I have encountered happened to be some religious people in some religious countries.

Don't understand, when did China say that Muslims are not Chinese?

Yes, point is simple. Of course, Islam is a part of China. But it has to be the Islam that speaks Chinese.

You know who is more true, smaller countries are much easier to manage and develop, check GDP per capita list, all top ones are very small countries, you can deny this common sense though.

GDP per Capita
# Country vs. World PPP GDP per capita ($17,100)
1 Qatar 752%
2 Macao 675%
3 Luxembourg 629%
4 Singapore 550%

Without Mao's culture reform, China would be another India or even worse.

Mao and his ideas were great indeed. 11 millions starved to death every year bewteen 1958 and 1962. That's half population of my country. I fail to associate the Chinese politics and a good deal for Chinese people.

If you wish to believe propaganda, nothing I say will change your mind. China ban muslims from fasting too right? Uighur are forced fed Pork.....

I don’t believe that. That is CIA propaganda.

How come none of my family members died from that period? They were farmers back then. Mao's time was the time that Chinese population rose so sharply, doubled in 20 years.

The problem I see is here why cant the West fight China on it's own they did same policy with the USSR in the 80s as usual China really sucks at PR well much of the media is state owned apparatus hard to find a nuance view

You have the right answer here.

A few more questions every Chinese citizen should ask.

Who decides what is Chinese Islam? Non-Muslims or Muslims?

What would be the Chinese name for Hazrat Aisha (RA,) wife of Muhammad saws, mother of believers, and the great narrator/scholar of hadith?

Islam originated in Arabia, much like how Communism originated in Russia and Germany, Capitalism originated in Western Europe and the US, Christianity originated in Palestine, and Buddhism originated in Nepal.

China has borrowed much from other cultures and welcomed immigrants from all over the world to absorb them into their society.

We are not talking about Mao's time. It is specifically the years of 1962. The fertility rate actually collapsed during that time.

Also, you must know that fertility rates usually have very little to do with actual material well being.

All of those cultures were thoroughly sinicized.

For a while there was a battle between Jesuits and the other denominations of Christians about tolerating or allowing traditional chinese practises in Christianity, which finally was rejected by the Church.

This led to the explusion of pretty much all of Christians from China in the 19th century.
