Please tell me the benefits of the government banned it, does stir up hatred?
I saw it on the Chinese domestic uygur BBS , and there are a lot of young people, some people asked in the discussion of Ramadan, called the ban completely,
I do not know, some foreigners, from where to get wrong, or one-sided information, is always to make trouble.
Ban Ramadan? How to supervise each person? Please tell me
In addition, China has its own rules and regulations, please foreigners, do not tell me what right or wrong. Communist officials are generally not allowed to believers, but some minorities, special, government would not unduly interfere.

Chinese law, not to minors under the age of 18 spread religion because minors do not have the ability to judge the independent thinking. But this law is not strictly implemented, in my hometown, many children around the age of 10 are often go to Christian, Muslim families have many children to enter the mosque. China Given this provision, the official would not be encouraged to learn in Ramadan fasting.
Communist Party of China have more stringent regulations, government officials, generally are not allowed to credit religion. But some minorities, but no how to perform.
Therefore, some foreigner, I want you to understand China, and then to talk nonsense. China has its own rules and regulations, please foreigners, do not tell me what right or wrong

First of all, tell you that China has religious freedom.
Secondly, in freedom, we have our own rules, foreigners do not find fault with us.
Also, please tell your Prime Minister, for the massacre of Muslims committed sins to repent, again meddling.

China restricts Ramadan fasting in Xinjiang
Several government departments posted notices on their websites

Beijing: China has banned civil servants, students and teachers in its mainly Muslim Xinjiang region from taking part in Ramadan fasting, government websites said, prompting condemnation from an exile group on Wednesday.

China’s ruling Communist party is officially atheist, and for years has restricted fasting in Xinjiang, home to the mostly Muslim Uighur minority.

Xinjiang sees regular and often deadly clashes between Uighurs and state security forces, and Beijing has blamed recent deadly attacks elsewhere in China on militants seeking independence for the resource-rich region.

Rights groups blame tensions on religious and cultural restrictions placed on Uighurs and other Muslim minorities in the vast area, which abuts Central Asia.

Several government departments posted notices on their websites in recent days banning fasting during Ramadan, which began this weekend. During the holy month, the faithful fast from dawn to dusk and strive to be more pious.

The commercial affairs bureau of Turfan city said on its website on Monday that “civil servants and students cannot take part in fasting and other religious activities”.

The state-run Bozhou Radio and TV university said on its website that it would “enforce the ban on party members, teachers, and young people from taking part in Ramadan activities”.

“We remind everyone that they are not permitted to observe a Ramadan fast,” it added.

A weather bureau in Qaraqash county in western Xinjiang said on its website that “in accordance with instructions from higher authorities”, it “calls on all current and retired staff not to fast during Ramadan”.

A state office which manages the Tarim River basin posted pictures of its staff wearing traditional Uighur “doppa” caps tucking into a group meal on Saturday.

“Although the meal coincided with the Muslim festival of Ramadan, the cadres who took part expressed a positive attitude and will lead the non-fasting,” it said.

China has in the past said that restrictions on fasting are meant to ensure the health of government employees.

Dilxat Raxit, a spokesman for the exiled World Uyghur Congress, cited local sources as saying that authorities encouraged Uighurs to eat free meals on Monday, and inspected homes to check if the fast was being observed.

“China taking these kind of coercive measures, restricting the faith of Uighurs, will create more conflict,” he said.

“We call on China to ensure religious freedom for Uighurs and stop political repression of Ramadan.”

The problem is that when news agencies like AFP report something like this, it carries with it a certain degree of credibility. Since using google is no good if you don't speak Chinese, help from Chinese speaking members would be appreciated. Thanks!!
