Adding "This is well known, don't deny it" won't make your saying automatically turns to truth.
Let me show you some number, there are 24 thousands masjids in Xinjiang now (only 1.4 thousands in 1980s). If their religion is forbidden, why the number of masjids is growing?

In addition to domestic funding, it is also funded by foreign governments such as the United States State Department as well as military contractors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Strategic_Policy_Institute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Strategic_Policy_In... You think ASPI can be considered as independent reporters?
- bobiny 5y agoNo. I mean government claims could be independently verified if there is free press in a country.
