Experts say that in recent years, Chinese authorities have put Salafis under constant surveillance, closed several Salafi religious schools and detained a prominent Salafi cleric. A once close-knit relationship between Chinese Salafis and Saudi patrons has grown thorny and complex.
And that:
"Saudi preachers and organizations began traveling to China. Some of them bore gifts: training programs for clerics, Korans for distribution, funding for new "Islamic institutes" and mosques.
This invasive radicalism transplanted into Xinjiang by the US and its Saudi allies has translated directly into real violence - a fact repeatedly omitted or buried in today's coverage of Xinjiang and left out of US and European condemnations of China for its policies there.
The US and Europe has waged a 20 year "war on terror," invading entire nations under false pretexts, killing hundreds of thousands, displacing tens of millions, carrying out systematic torture, and building a global-spanning surveillance network - all while more covertly arming and funding real terrorism in places like Libya, Syria, and even in China's Xinjiang.
All of this has been done with the help of a complicit Western media bending truths or entirely fabricating lies - but also by omitting truth.
It should then come as no surprise that US and European media has chosen to lie about China's current policies to deal with what is clearly a real and dangerous terrorism problem in Xinjiang.
But the world can choose not to believe these lies.
