This situation is absolutely disgusting. China will stamp out the Muslim religion, and anyone not preemtively converting will be destroyed. Indeed probably a lot more than that. Where does it end? I have made the decision to support the Chinese as little as I can, and fight the regime where I can. In my field, academia, this can actually matter a lot. I encourage you to do the same. Muslims arent the most popular people right now, but the parallels to another religious ethnicity in history are too strong. Dont be the one, years from now, having to claim that we did not know. We know. We see. We know where this ends, it is not the first time. Do what you can.
