- Interestingly, https://chinadigitaltimes.net/2014/03/sensitive-words-attack-kunming/ points out that http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/845642.shtml#.UxYZgeddVRG by China Digital Times (CDT, 中国数字时代, USA government media) said that:
  
  The public must realize that a handful of extremists are far from qualified to represent tens of millions of local residents in Xinjiang. It is not only an irrational and biased mindset to put the blame on the entire Uyghur community or the Muslim world, but the idea will also abet and aid those separatists and terrorists who are desperate to take advantage of ethnic and religious conflicts.
  
  and yet as of the Xinjiang "re-education" camps (新疆再教育營, 2017-), all Xinjiang Muslims were fucked. Rule of law (法治) comes to mind.

Figure 90. Uyghur butcher with chained knives in Xinjiang (2021). Knives at shops in Xinjiang have to remain chained, and each blade is tracked with a QR code. A Zhihu (知乎, censored Quora clone, 审查 Quora 克隆) question about it https://www.zhihu.com/question/294738809: 为什么菜刀要用铁链子栓起来？来乌市快有一个月啦，我很好奇为什么所有的店里都要用铁链子把菜刀栓起来？ (Why are kitchen knifes tied up with an iron chain? It’s been almost a month since I came to Urumqi [capital of Xinjiang]? I am curious why all the shops have to tie up kitchen knives with iron chains?). Source.
