The Chinese government, which continues its policies of persecution and oppression on Uighur Turks in East Turkestan, plans to rewrite the Koran according to the ideology of the Maoist Chinese Communist Party.
 
The Chinese government, which legalized a bill aimed at sinicisation Islam in January, organized a meeting to reinterpret the meanings of the Koran, Bible and Buddhist sutras according to the ideology of the Maoist Communist Party.
 
Wang Yang, Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, supervised the meeting.
 
Religious authorities must follow President Xi's instructions and interpret the ideologies of different religions in accordance with the values of Socialism and the requirements of the era, a Chinese official said in November.
 
State terror practices such as assimilation, interference in family life, violation of immunity of domicile, confiscation of houses and work places, and disturbance of the right to worship, which has been implemented by the Chinese state for many years against Uyghur Muslims, continues in full swing.
 
In classified documents which were shared with the public by a journalist recently, the Chinese President's statement saying that 'show No Mercy' was widely echoed in the World. Chinese government detains more than 1 million Muslims, or about 7% of the Muslim population in the Xinjiang region, in mass detention camps, named re-education camp, aimed at changing the political thinking of detainees, their identities, and their religious beliefs. Muslims are also subjected to physical and verbal abuse by prison guards.
 
Although violations have been documented by international organizations, no deterrent steps have so far been taken against China.
