After U.S. House passed resolution condemning China’s treatment of Muslims in Xinjiang, the governor of Xinjiang says all “students have now graduated”. Wow, that was fast and sounds so believable.
But I’m happy thanks to the US House resolution the Chinese sound worried. I hope decency and common sense will prevail in the end.

ethnic Hui Muslim minority, a ban on young people engaging in religious education in mosques is an unwelcome interference in how they lead their lives.
Their big fear is the Chinese government may be bringing in measures in this northwestern province of Gansu that are similar to some of those used in the crackdown on Uygur Muslims in the giant Xinjiang region further to the west.
