Beijing faced a 'tsunami' in favour of the pro-democracy movement and then its atrocities on Uyghur Muslims were exposed to the world.
China apparently wants to erase all traces of Islamic culture and Muslim identity from its public spaces. But that's not how a vibrant and self-confident power should be.
According to China, its 'teaching centres' are to ‘guide Uyghur Muslims away from religious extremism’. According to the few inmates who have lived to tell the tale, they are sheer torture camps.
Beijing does not appear to be in a hurry to change its stand on trans-border terrorism.
