>They are afraid of Taiwan because Taiwan is the living example that China can prosper without the CCP. You can not compare the racially and culturally homogeneous Taiwan to the whole of China.

They are not, they crapped their pants and with time things will get worse for them. >They are afraid of religions because no matter how much you punish someone, you won't be able to make them worship you instead. They just don't want the west of China to become a playground for Islamic terrorists.
