Muslim men leave a mosque in Beijing after prayers on May 10, the first Friday of Ramadan. By Anna Fifield and Anna Fifield Beijing bureau chief. Email Bio Follow Kareem Fahim Kareem Fahim Istanbul bureau chief covering the Middle East Email Bio Follow May 27 at 6:00 AM BEIJING — In China, the current Islamic holy month of Ramadan can bring even more struggles for Muslims already under relentless pressures.
Much of the tone toward China in the Muslim world has been set by Saudi Arabia, which carries economic and religious clout. As many as 3 million ethnic Uighur Muslims are incarcerated in huge detention camps across Xinjiang, a Pentagon official recently estimated. The Chinese government says these are “vocational training” centers aimed at stamping out terrorism. Family members of the detained, Western governments and human rights advocates say they are a systematic attempt to oppress and “de-Islamicize” an ethnic and religious minority.
Saudi Arabia’s position highlighted the dramatic shifts in the kingdom’s policies under the leadership of the crown prince, who has sought to confront or co-opt Saudi religious conservatives. Mohammed seeks to craft a new Saudi identity that leans more heavily on nationalism than religion. “One of the pillars of Saudi legitimacy is they’re the guardians of the holy sites,” said John Calabrese, director of the Middle East-Asia Project at the Middle East Institute in Washington. “Others would expect that they would take a much more forward-leaning stance on this.”
Pakistan’s prime minister, Imran Khan, has twice claimed in interviews not to know anything about the situation of Muslims in China. In Indonesia, the government publicly said that it “would not interfere” in China’s “domestic affairs.” China is the world’s biggest importer of Saudi oil, overtaking the United States in 2009. China bought $46 billion worth of products from Saudi Arabia in 2018, a year in which overall bilateral trade increased by 33 percent to $63 billion.

I heard that the United States is oppressing Huawei, a Chinese company. Why don't you support Huawei? Huawei has so many employees as a big company. If Huawei can't hold on, these people need the responsibility of the United States, right?
If none sees your ill intentions and propaganda against Saudi Arabia through this absurd tweet, they honestly deserve to stay blind for good.
No Nation should be 'forced' to accept the re-settlement or migrants from another Nation. Population control is necessary for a Nation to survive & for mankind to survive. As populations grow natural resources are diminished; Civilization returns to a 'state of nature' T.Hobbes
Why should Saudi Arabia speaks about it in the first place?
I do not see why Saudis would be involved. Saudis are not their Gods. Next time use Qataris money well and find something useful dickheads.
I just don’t understand why can’t you criticize China without mentioning Saudi Arabia
This not an accurate headline! The Washington post relentless attempts to paint Saudi Arabia in a negative light is ridiculous
the world approaches china in a similar fashion as chamberlain did wth hitler. re-read the fate of tibet (1950-1990). history here is not a teacher, but a vehicle delivering 'mindset'.
Of course, the only Muslums more Evil than the Shiite are the Sunni.
It wasn't 19 Iranians that hijacked American aircraft and flew them into the two. Towers and the Pentagon. It was 19 Saudis. With friends like the Saudis, who needs enemies.
State religion is a grift, the actual values are meaningless to them, as are the faithful.
No massive demonstrations against the evil China?! No chantings 'Death to China'?!

Trump to sidestep Congress to clear arms deals benefiting Saudi Arabia, UAEThe president is invoking seldom-used emergency authority to circumvent congressional roadblocks to 22 arms deals. How does he get away with this crap? Where are the checks and balances? Isn’t this official terrorist sponsorship when a bipartisan congress says no?! Great. This way they can use these weapons against us when the next administration tries to get everything back under control. I don't know when enough is going to be enough.

Trump administration may use Iran threat to sell bombs to Saudis without Congress' approval: senator'I am hearing that Trump may use an obscure loophole in the Arms Control Act and notice a major new sale of bombs to Saudi Arabia (the ones they drop in Yemen) in a way that would prevent Congress from objecting. In this case, they said the Republican president would cite rising tensions with Iran There is no reason to cooperate with Congress if all Congress does is insult him with the hoax over and over these are attacks coming from the left and they are anti-American Our stupid country has thousands of loopholes. the situation in Yemen is alarming
