New in PJ Media: As the Chinese Communist Party is a totalitarian entity, it views any other authority or object of loyalty as a competitor that must be destroyed. That’s why the Chinese government has cracked down so brutally upon the Uighur Muslims, and now a leading ChiCom official has announced the end goal of […]
China: Communist Party top dog says ‘Sinicization’ of Islam is ‘an inevitable trend’
What is likely to happen in China, given the lessons of history, is that the “Sinicization” of Islam will proceed, and will appear to be a comprehensive success. Then, when the Communist Party begins to weaken, suddenly and unexpectedly, traditional Islam will begin to reemerge. We have seen this in the West. One hundred years […]
China’s President Xi Jinping: ‘Islam in China must be Chinese in orientation’
Although in the West, the far Left allies with Islamic supremacist groups (the Red-Green axis) against the principles of free societies, these two, who regard each other as useful idiots, can never unite fully, since the goal of both Communism and Islam is global expansion and dominion, each under their respective repressive laws. The freedom […]
China ‘to deepen friendly and cooperative relations’ with the Taliban
Although China has slammed Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan as “ill planned,” China has embraced the Taliban, saying it “is ready to deepen “friendly and cooperative” relations. China’s hostile castigation of America (and more broadly the West) fliers in the face of its own gross human rights abuses against the Uighur Muslim community. Of course Afghanistan […]
China invests $1.3 trillion in Muslim countries, they remain silent about Uighur genocide
Can China buy an end to any jihad against it? The Islamic doctrines will remain, but the Muslim countries have 1.3 trillion reasons to ignore them for now. “$1.3 trillion And Counting: The Cost That Keeps Muslim Countries Mum on China’s Uyghur Genocide,” by Santosh Chaubey, News18, July 8, 2021: Recently, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran […]
Taliban say China is friend of Afghanistan, promise not to allow Uighur jihadis to enter the country
The infidel money from China is more important to the Taliban than the jihad of the Uighurs, for now. In any case, it’s noteworthy that China is building this friendship economically, without sending troops. “Taliban Terms China As Friend Of Afghanistan, Assures Not To Host Uyghur Islamic Militants From Xinjiang,” Swarajya, July 11, 2021: Terrorist […]
On last full day in office, Trump administration declared China’s persecution of Uyghur Muslims ‘genocide’
Although the Trump administration is over, it has set a precedent by declaring China’s treatment of the Uyghur Muslims to be “genocide.” Let’s hope the Biden administration doesn’t cancel this designation. Foreign Policy published an article in December: “In Rare Unanimity, Biden Could Double Down on Trump’s Uighur Sanctions.” It is peculiar is that there […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: China Ratchets Up Its Anti-Islam Campaign in Xinjiang (Part Three)
In August, a United Nations human rights panel said it had received many credible reports that a million or more Uighurs and other minorities are being held in what resembles a “massive internment camp that is shrouded in secrecy” in Xinjiang. China says it is not enforcing arbitrary detention and political re-education. Aside from the […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: China Ratchets Up Its Anti-Islam Campaign in Xinjiang (Part One)
In May 2018, the Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan, Yao Jing, gave a lengthy interview to a Pakistani paper defending the Chinese government’s treatment of the Muslim Uighurs.

Chinese police order Xinjiang’s Muslims to hand in all copies of the Qur’an
I’m not in favor of banning books. Thought control and thought police are hallmarks of totalitarian regimes, and we’re getting perilously close to living under that boot on the face in the West. The Chinese authorities, like all totalitarians, are going to discover that they cannot entirely suppress thoughts through force. That said, this is […]
