Going to China as a Muslim
I’ve been wanting to visit China since I was a kid but I’m not sure if I should as a muslim. Not that I feel unsafe but because of what’s going on with the Uyghurs.
Most of the places in China that I’m interested in are located in interior China or near the Southern border. I’ve seen posts about other Muslims going to Xinjiang and saying the Uyghurs were glad to see other (visible) Muslims visiting their land but Chinese state police were hostile to them. It was never in my plans to go to Xinjiang but I’ve been thinking about it.
I have a friend who is Hui Chinese Muslim from Yunnan and is going back home in the summer and wanted me to tag along.
Is this equivalent to a Muslim going to Israel? I would never go there but I don’t know if it’s the right comparison. I don’t want to be seen as a traitor for visiting China like all is good. Give me some advice please.
