Says it was controlled by various Chinese dynasties starting in 221 BC. I don’t see any references to Turkic peoples being in Yunnan, on that page or others.
It seems weird that the CCP destroyed this Mosque and ran a massacre, apologized for it, paid for it to be rebuilt which was completed in 2009, and then promptly changed it again.
Incidentally, it had to do with who was running the CCP at each time period. Really helps to discredit Xi as some pompous moron compared to Deng who understood the value in giving people rights & liberties and not running the country like a craphole like how Mao did.
Those two are the same place? Looks like it was entirely destroyed and rebuilt as something else, I’m seeing very little similarly between the two.
They basically added a couple of floors to hide the dome. Looks like the spires got shorter though.
I do really wonder if the dome is still hiding inside there. It looks like it might be big enough and that sounds like it would be the easy solution.
Wait, in ALL of China? Not a single mosque dome?
There’s domes everywhere, not really sure what The Guardian is talking about
Is it the wording? They said “Arabic”.
I don’t know anything about building, China, mosques, etc. I’m just saying words.
Complete bullshit. I saw multiple when I was there, and some of the oldest mosques in the world are in China, dating back to at least 800AD
