Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang are delivering pork to Muslim households during the Lunar New Year holiday, and forcing some Muslims to drink alcohol, eat
pork, and display emblems of traditional Chinese culture, RFA has learned.

Residents of the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) told RFA that officials had invited them to celebratory dinners marking the
Lunar New Year at which pork was served, then threatening to send them to a "re-education" camp if they refused to take part.

Photos sent to RFA also showed an official from Ili's Yining city visiting Muslim households and distributing raw pork, in the name of helping the less well-off on Monday, on the eve of
the Year of the Pig.

Jokes on them, the Quran has provisions for being forced to ingest prohibited foods; it doesn't count if it's forced.

I'm sure it's still unpleasant for them even if it's not actually a religious thoughtcrime. It's blatant intimidation to start.

So china is a thing we'll either ram our heads against or we'll capitulate to in the future.

We can't co-exist with this shit forever.

In muslim, if they got forced and get life threathen. It's ok they do that. Because God always know and will forgive them.

That's just petty

[Robichaelis]

Why are tankies still so supportive of China? If this happened in a western country they'd cry far right extremism

[Joazzz]

The second option is not an option at all.

China provides cheap goods and labor, and that's all that matters to most.

What's usually is worse they'll outright deny it just like neonazis deny the Holocaust and anything that says otherwise is fayk nuus. There's no reasoning with these people.
