Apparently some things haven't changed since Mao's time.

China should just let Xinjiang go free

The notification for the ban has been posted online by the education bureau, as authorities step up their suppression of religious freedoms.

Well, if Allah has a problem with it, I'm sure he'll come to Earth and inform the Chinese government. Until that time, China should keep on keeping on.

Historically that has not been an option for china. Xinjiang is the northern gateway to China, which is why every strong dynasty has controlled or attempted to take control of that region.

Not all Muslims live in Xinjiang.
In fact the largest Muslim group in China is Hui, not Uyghur. Most Hui people live with Han Chinese all over China,

That's what gets me. Every other country just about is left to run their country at they see fit to best maintain their culture, but let America or an European country try to and there's an uproar . It's very curious .

Well Mexico is the southern gateway to America, should we take control of Mexico? Maybe a least build a wall?

Well, western countries maintain the "moral high ground". There has to be some trade-off.

We aren’t communists. You don’t reason with communists, so we hold our country to a higher standard than others.

That is the definition of a dopey and if you knew anything about the constitution religious persecution was exactly what they wanted to avoid.
