More on China

AS,

I sometimes wonder that China may have been immunized against the loonier Leftism by its experience under Mao.

Still, Islam in China is not just Xinjiang/Sharki Turkistan. There are Muslim people all over the country, and not necessarily all that different culturally from the dominant Han. I am just intrigued by what it is that makes 50% of the people in a country that is officially lukewarm-if-not-hostile towards Israel.
