China has been engaged in a campaign that aims to eliminate religion among the Uighur Muslim population of Xinjiang Province. They cloak it in the language of "fighting terrorism", but it has the dual aims of both seizing resources and attacking religion.

(49,533 posts)the Chinese campaign against *every* group that it oppresses, is about political power, and eliminating threats to the party. There are many religious groups in China that don't face any internment or violence. There are many non-religious groups and people who do. If this were the simple effort to "eliminate religion" as you keep claiming it is, then neither of those statements would be true.
You know this, but you keep spreading falsehoods in order to promote your agenda. Why?

William Barr just ratified that agenda in his speech to the "values forum."
