Yeah, same here. I do honestly hope that what the PRC has been sowing bites them in the ass. China has also pissed off alot of countries recently. Most notably when they pissed of Turkey a year or two ago over the uprising. The Uyghurs are Turks, though distantly related. What makes this strange is the fact that some Muslims complain about Kashmir, but don’t raise a peep about the Uyghurs. While the Kashmiris are being treated poorly, culturally they are allowed to exist. The Chinese government on the other hand, has been trying to bury and destroy the culture of the Uyghurs. They (the PRC) are a much bigger menace to Muslims than any other nation in my view.

There are other sources of friction. The Indonesian treatment of ethnic Chinese has included some fairly serious pogroms. As China becomes more powerful, she will be less likely to look away. In Malaysia, Prime Minister Mahathir proclaimed discriminatory laws to hold down that nation’s Chinese. And now, there are Chinese workers all around the world, including, unless they just now made good their escape, Libya.

China isn’t going to convert to Islam, ever. She might insist on better treatment of ethnic Chinese in her neighborhood. But she isn’t going to go looking for trouble either. She’s not a threat to Turkey, or Pakistan, or Indonesia. Or to Islam.
