So the story is about China trying to keep Muslim terrorism under control?
Not at all. The story is about Chinese totalitarianism and intolerance of any people who don’t value China above all else.
As in Tibet, the Chinese government has moved Han Chinese into Xinjiang with the intention of extirpating the local culture and exploiting resources.
It is about Chinese ruthlessness and expansionism. Think South China Sea.
It is also about the technology and apparatus of a police state, some of which can show up here.
I wasn’t planning on sympathizing with Muslims today, but people should be let alone in their own lands.
Ostensibly, yes. The absolute police state already in place is made possible by the energetic cooperation of silicon valley and its culture of death. These same technologies are in place in many US cities. Technocrats, especially those in Cali, are a growing danger to Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.
