What do you propose as the proper way for China to deal with violent religious reactionaries? Maybe they should've focused more energy on a decades long occupation of Afghanistan that accomplished literally nothing except a vast amount of grifting.
The decades-long occupation pretty much never works and just engenders more revolution, so I wouldn't recommend that route.
also, the "violent religious reactionaries" is a bit of a leap from the sheer volume of detainees.
I think the violent ones should be dealt with much differently than the non-violent activists, but they are apparently treated the same.
The sheer volume being how many?
absolute minimum is around half a million detainee in total (ccp numbers until 2019), and most outside estimates place the number closer to 1-2 million uyghur detainees.
Bear in mind that this is not some static equation, mass detainment started almost 10 years ago at this point and has been occurring for a decade. with detainment ongoing and the CCP long having stopped sharing specific information, it's going to be hard to get specific numbers past 2019(the half a million number) for years to come.
And where did you get those numbers?
Source?
Source?
Where did you get the half a million number?
You were able to assert "absolute minimum is around half a million" though, so you must have been able to get those specific numbers somewhere. Where did you get them?
The xinjiang high people's protectorate
Source that that's even a thing that exists?

it's in Chinese.
every province in China has a local government, so this is the local government of xinjiang.
it's very similar to having a state government in the US.
Lmao so you lied by implying this was a separate government when it's a branch of the CPC? Sooo....are they brave truth tellers or lying chinese communists?
no, that's all still incorrect.
Sorry, this comment doesn't look like anything to me. I can only read sources
no worries.
Where did you find your link?
Also I don't see anything on that link suggesting what you're claiming.
Source that the xinjiang high people’s protectorate made all of those claims?
they are the source.
Then provide it
You keep dropping numbers like this without sourcing them.
you'll have to look through the other comments for the sources, I've had to drop that same source like four times now.
The sheer volume being how many?
~~Wdym occupation. Xinjiang (formerly Xiyu) has been incorporated territory of the PRC since its foundation, and part of China since (conservatively) the Tang dynasty.~~
Edit: i misunderstood the comment
that commenter was referencing Afghanistan, not xinjiang.
I see, thanks for clarification . I rilly should be sleeping
Ok, so the violent religious reactionaries needed to be dealt with, but with a more nuanced approach. What should it be? What would be faster and gentler, but also effective?
