Of course, in China, it's illegal to spread religious lies, hate, religious fiction, and complete nonsense.
China has decided to reeducate religious extremists in an attempt to bring them into the 21st century, and if they don't comply, they end up in jail for spreading obvious lies.
I hope they also got the priest that decided spreading religious hate and bullshit to people in China would be a good idea.
Don't like it? The west's answer is to let religious extremists propagate until they commit terror acts, then they are arrested. Then the same priest that radicalized the last religious terrorist keeps on radicalizing more, and more people until retirement. If it happens in another country, we declare war and kill millions of innocent people along with the radicals. I don't consider this a better solution in any way.
I've seen tankies, and I've seen militant atheists, but trying to claim that advising people to not smoke or drink is "religious lies, hate, religious fiction, and complete nonsense" is a new one.
reeducate religion exterimists my ass stop the propagonda bs. They jailed 2 millions from the ethnic minority of the same pronvince. It is ethnic cleansing and everyone knows it
Except we arrived at that 2 million number based on the testimony of a handful of "random" citizens in the region, and also Uyghurs are exempt from the one-child policy. On top of that, diplomats from UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Tunisia and Bosnia have all visited Xinjiang and expressed support for their methods in fighting extremism.
Maybe try reading things that aren't from Adrien Zenz or Radio Free Asia.
What's the sentence for promoting Chinese traditional medicine? Must be severe given it's all lies, fiction and general nonsense.

They’re a racist. I don’t respect racists, nor are they entitled to it.
Hoooolllyy shhiiiiit
Oh yeah, most religious terrorists totally didn't become religious and a terrorist after being oppressed or abused by the governments they attack. Yes, playing Devil's advocate here, but nobody just one day wakes up and decides to murder a bunch of kids for no reason.
The Chinese government is creating terrorists, not eradicating them.
Not smoking or drinking is religious extremism now? Yeah, welcome to the ban list
