Still thousands times better than being a Muslim in the world largest democrazy of India, to be honest.

On Topic: Their County, Their Rules!

China knows perfectly that religion should not interfere too much in national politics, otherwise religion would grow too powerful and will then start to dictate terms to the government.

Parents should use good moral conduct to influence their children, educate them to revere science, pursue culture, uphold ethnic unity and refuse and oppose extremism," the rules say.

I completely agree with the above statement.

There is a reason that China is where it is today. It's very secular. The battle for China is not its market, but it's souls. Chinese don't regard Confucius as a religion. So it has three choices, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. Represented by the west, Middle East and India. I think all three places need a strategy to win the Chinese soul.

Wahabbi invaded China. China kicks it out. Simple and fair enough.

May China lead the world in innovating techniques to combat Extremism

It is always advisable to eradicate ANY extremism using religions as pretexts, best to turn the brainwashed ones into the civilized, useful and productive members of society, if possible... otherwise harsh measures must be taken!

In particular the foreign funded systematical infiltrators are dire threats to the people's livelihood, harmony and national unity as well as national security, therefore such threats must be dealt quite seriously from the outset. A proactive prevention is even preferable!! Never allow such radical bigots to control the society for they may collapse that society and ruin a nation!!

India needs to learn a lot from China...

 

[武成王]

The government only care those young people with beards, which is considered a signal of potentially radical one, it's not a problem for old man, many old Uyghur men have long beards. Burqa esp. those are all black colored which cover all body except eyes are also considered a bad signal for woman, it will scare people in public. Anybody who says China repress Uyghur should visit Xinjiang to have a close look at what's going on there. It's not expensive.

India needs to learn a lot from China...

Frankly, YES... perhaps it may result in the speedier improvements over the people's livelihood in that subcontinent. Better learn from the successful patron... and not just limited to this affair but also in many other aspects of real life

 

[prashantazazel]

Stuff like this is desperately needed in India. People here waste a lot of time and resources in the pursuit of backwardness.
China is behaving like a true leader.

 

[TaiShang]

Right precautions taken in the right time, considering that religious extremism is now more sophisticated and there are more means to spread it across national boundaries.

China does not think, act, or treat its citizens or others based on religious norms.

If some people/governments are still living in the age of religion overbearing national borders, it is too bad for them, because China does not prescribe any importance on religious affinity beyond a cultural-related respect towards diversity and colorfulness.

But if a religion is turning into a death cult by transforming people into zombies through heavy indoctrination, dress code symbolism, extreme display of religiosity in the public realm and woman's subjugation, that cult will be fought against until it is entirely eradicated. Our people have no sympathy towards them and will be standing by the government in implementing those measures.

In China, follow the national norms, cultural dress codes, and ways of public conduct that have been developed over the millennia; do not import foreign ideology, doctrines and codes of conduct.

It should not be that difficult if one is a citizen of China. If there is so much fondness toward a foreign dress code and public conduct, those are free to leave China and live in their choice of religious polity.

Chinese state does not subscribe to any religion and does not tolerate foreign-oriented extreme religiosity.

New Xinjiang regulation aims to prevent extremism
By Mao Weihua and Cui Jia | China Daily | Updated: 2017-03-31

Lawmakers in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region have passed China's first legislation on anti-extremism to prevent terrorism from spreading in the region.

The regulation, adopted on Wednesday by the Xinjiang People's Congress, prohibits people in the region from wearing full-face coverings and long beards, which are deemed to promote extremism.

Thirteen other behaviors that indicate extremism are also banned, such as forcing others not to associate with people from other ethnic groups and extending the concept of halal, Islamic dietary law, to apply to things other than food.

The regulation, the full text of which was released on Thursday, will take effect on April 1.

"In Xinjiang, the root of terrorist activities is separatism, and its ideological foundation is extremism," Nayim Yessen, director of the Standing Commitee of the regional legislature, said at a news conference on Thursday.

It took the regional legislature about two years to draft and pass the regulation, which Xinjiang "desperately needs", he said.

"It will help the region to normalize the works on eliminating extremism and ensure such activities can be handled in accordance with the law," Nayim said.

Also, for the first time in China, the regulation clarifies the definition of extremism, saying it is "to use radical religious beliefs to interfere with others' lifestyles and comments", said Qin Wei, director of the regional legislature's legislative affairs commission.

Violators will be cautioned first before being punished in accordance with China's Anti-Terrorism Law and Criminal Law.

"The new regulation mainly focuses on prevention and education rather than punishment," Qin said.

Chen Tong, president of Xinjiang Normal University's Law School, said the regulation will also help law enforcers to distinguish between extremism and religious activities, which should be protected and not affected during the fight against extremism.

Xinjiang, a region in Northwest China that borders on eight countries, including Pakistan and Afghanistan, has been China's main battleground in the fight against terrorism and the penetration of extremism from abroad.

Earlier this month, President Xi Jinping called for a "great wall of iron" to safeguard Xinjiang.

Chen Quanguo, Party chief of Xinjiang, sees keeping the region stable as a major political task.

Shawkat Yiming, a senior Party official of Xinjiang, said: "Extremism is like drugs that can drive people insane and turn normal people into cruel killers. As long as extremism exists, terrorism will spread like cancer."

Eliminating extremism in Xinjiang is a matter of regional stability and national security, he said, adding that although the region has achieved some success in combating extremism, the situation remains grim.

India should learn from this and similarly crack down on RSS and its affiliate Senas as well as any Wahabbi tendency, however small.
