China repressing minorities in Xinjiang
Human rights groups have consistently said that China is oppressing Muslims and minorities in the Xinjiang region. These groups say that minorities including Uighurs, Kazakhs, and many more are facing persecution which is a crime against humanity. Many countries, including the US, have criticized China's human rights record in dealing with Uighurs. However, China has always vehemently denied these allegations. China calls its policies necessary to deal with religious extremism.
