Whenever an ignorant Westerner starts parroting the propaganda line about supposed persecution of Muslims in China show them videos like this - a thriving Hui Muslim community deep in south western China. Remind them that there are more mosques in China than in all of Europe and America put together…and by a large margin too!
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Even videos of rural Xinjiang look like stellar commendations. If sinophobic westerners had any interest in coming to terms with reality they would not be the way they are.
Yup. And this isn’t even Xinjiang, this is an entirely different part of China that i bet the vast majority of Westerners have never even heard of. They only know China through the propaganda their media feeds them.
The propaganda tells them that this is meaningless, because the Hui are can “model minority” that the CCP just keeps around for the aesthetics of diversity, while they genocide the Uyghurs.
The mental gymnastics never end.
I suppose it is a case of projection, since their own countries do it with minorities such as Asians.
“Hui” is also the sound these westerners make when you inform them that Uighurs aren’t the only Muslim group in China.
Imagine the sound the Westoids will make when you tell them that Hui Muslims declared Jihad against Japanese Fascism in WWII:
The Japanese attempted to justify their invasion to the Muslim Chinese by promises of liberation and self-determination. Chinese Muslims rejected that, and jihad (Islamic struggle) was declared to be obligatory and sacred for all Chinese Muslims against Japan.

A Chinese Muslim Imam, Hu Songshan, was instrumental in his support of the war. When Japan invaded China in 1937, Hu Songshan ordered for the Chinese flag to be saluted during morning prayer, along with an exhortation to nationalism. He invoked Qur’anic authority to urge sacrifice against Japan. A prayer was written by him in Arabic and Chinese for the defeat of the Japanese and the support of the Kuomintang Chinese government.[37] Hu Songshan also ordered for all Imams in Ningxia to preach Chinese nationalism. The Muslim General Ma Hongkui assisted him in that order by making nationalism required at every mosque.
