iPhones are assembled in China, I wouldn’t doubt that the PLA makes sure there are back doors even Apple doesn’t know about.

It's the Judeo-Christian ethic that gave you that luxury.

You are going to miss it when you have finally succeeded in extinguishing it.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. --John Adams

China, its culture and the Han race have been distinct entities for 4000+ years. Their “Great Wall” mentality cuts both ways - can be cruel to non-conformists and cultural outsiders, yet has sustained them and been the basis of continued nationhood for all this time.

Like many nations of Asia, China acquired its “Muslim Problem” when national borders were being established in the modern era / 19th century.

You seem to think all atheists have the same agenda. We don't. I don't want get rid of religion. If it works or fails it will be on it's own. The ones who want to destroy all religious holidays and symbols are a minority. They're like anitfa, in that everyone must conform to what they want, now. I say live and let live. I even like Christmas. So don't worry about me.

How does anyone think we found Bin Laden? We got at him by triangulating phones, some taken of Hassan Ghul, a currier and ranking officer in Al Qaeda. He was captured by Kurdish forces and handed to us in 2004.

Is market penetration in China that thorough? I thought the Muslims lived in the mountains, in Tibet/Western China. Generally rural and I would have thought it would require a lot of cell phone towers.

I could be wrong about that.

“.... I would have thought it would require a lot of cell phone towers.”

According to Forbes, there are over 788 million people that are mobile users, and a whopping 98 percent of the country’s total user base are using them for bike sharing, reserving either bus or train seats, or booking taxis. They have made great strides in this technology. And according to Statista, they produced over 150M phones for purchase around the world in June this year, alone. They’re knockoffs but they’ve been busy.
