The question is whether it's justified to react the way that the government is. The attacks were terrible but is it necessary to break up uninvolved families, raze cemeteries, etc? Even here in SZ and GZ, they forced the Lanzhou lamian shops to take down the Arabic "Halal" signs down. Is this really necessary?
They aren't subject to the camp thing yet, but they are increasingly subject to the same things that the Uyghurs were early on. Time will tell.
Yeah obviously the re-education camps are not quite legal and in many cases persecuted people .
I just want to point out the media oversimplified the situation, misleading the audience.
It's true that the government ordered restaurants to take off halal signs in Arabic, but allowed them to use halal sign in Chinese. I think it is lame but obviously it is their way to reduce "extremist influence".

“I’m sure that you will support them, because this is for their own good…and also for your own good.”
This was one of the lines officials were instructed to deliver to children returning to Xinjiang and learning that their family members had been sent to “political education” camps, according to a trove of Chinese documents leaked to and published by the New York Times.
Since early 2017, Chinese authorities have arbitrarily detained about 1 million Turkic Muslims in facilities where they are subjected to forced political indoctrination, effective renunciation of their faith and culture, and in some cases torture. The Chinese government initially flatly denied the existence of these camps. But more evidence emerged and Beijing found itself challenged by United Nations experts, human rights groups, media outlets, and scholars.
Will that raise the price of goods at the dollar store???
