  • CNBC：China paper blasts report about rifts in Beijing's leadership, says 'an elephant can't hide'
    CNBC reports: "China's top newspaper lashed out at criticism that Beijing's hard-line treatment of its trade dispute with the U.S. led to tough measures from Washington. The commentary on Friday from the People's Daily newspaper, a mouthpiece of China's Communist Party, came after a Reuters report about rifts within the party amid the escalating U.S.-China trade war. Critics have said that an overly nationalistic Chinese stance may have hardened the U.S. position, Reuters reported, citing sources close to the government."
  • CBS News：Muslims try to block China mosque demolition in rare public demo
    CBS News reports: "Thousands of Muslims gathered at a mosque in northwestern China on Friday to protest its planned demolition in a rare, public pushback to the government's efforts to rewrite how religions are practiced in the country. A large crowd of Hui people, a Muslim ethnic minority, gathered outside the towering Grand Mosque in the town of Weizhou on Thursday... "We just won't let them demolish it," said Ma Sengming, a 68-year-old woman who said her daughter was at the protest outside the newly built mosque in the region of Ningxia. The protest comes as faith groups that were largely tolerated in the past have seen their freedoms shrink as the government seeks to "Sinicize" religions by making the faithful prioritize allegiance to the officially atheist ruling Communist Party. Islamic crescents and domes have been stripped from mosques, Christian churches shut down and bibles seized, and Tibetan children have been moved from Buddhist temples to schools."
  • The New York Times：Star Scholar Disappears as Crackdown Engulfs Western China
    The New York Times comments: "She was one of the most revered academics from the Uighur ethnic minority in far western China. She had written extensively and lectured across China and the world to explain and celebrate Uighurs' varied traditions. Her research was funded by Chinese government ministries and praised by other scholars. Then she disappeared. The academic, Rahile Dawut, 52, told a relative last December that she planned to travel to Beijing from Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang region where she taught. Professor Dawut was in a rush when she left, according to the relative, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of punishment from the Chinese authorities."
