Well there are also millions of Muslims in the USA as well.
It looks as though the Muslims in China have been more westernized than some of those in the USA.
I traveled through China and it looks to me that Urumchi offers more to its citizens than Bejing as far as freedom and clean air and friendly faces.
It does look like Denver, Colorado. Unfortunately, if these “Chinese” get too progressive I can see the Chinese Communist Party coming down on them faster than you can say MAO.
JMHO.
most people in the picture are non-Muslims,I think,because Northern XinJiang,including Urumchi, should be mainly populated by Mandarin-speaking Chinese.
Northern Xinjiang were mainly populated by Mongols 300 years ago. But most Mongols were massacred during Manchus empire’s conquer in mid-18 century.Then it became mainly populated by Mandarin-speaking Chinese.
Turkish-speaking people mostly live in Southern Xinjiang.
